Most reputable surgeons will not do it before you are 18 unless there is a significant physical abnormality. There are some surgeons will who perform implant surgery before the age of 18, although they would require parental consent.

It depends on the causes of the breast size. If it is after development at youth, it could be done at any time after 25 years old as a recommended age. If it is because of age, it is best around 40-50 years old. However, there is not a particular recommendation on age.

My doctor told me that they prefer you to be at least 18, but they can have them younger. I had my first one when I was 17, so I guess it depends on your needs and how bad you have to be repaired.

answer 1: I had a breast reduction at the age of 15! I am now 24 and getting another one.

answer 2: I had a breast reduction when I was 13, they removed 4.5kg of tissue. I am now 28.

answer 3: Technically a breast reduction can be done at any age assuming there is a medically relevant reason for it and parental consent. Even on a younger child who has yet to develop breasts the breast bud can be removed to prevent them from ever growing (though this is typically only done in the case of cancer or other life threatening illness).

The youngest you should be is 18. Most doctors will not do a breast reduction or any similar procedure if you aren't 18 or older. Your height, weight and breast size can all change especially between the ages of 13-18. After you turn 18, you most likely will have been the same height, weight and have had the same breast size for about 1-2 or more years. It's hard for teenagers to deal with large breasts but most doctors sadly won't do a reduction on a girl under 18 unless they have a serious medical condition diagnosed called 'hypertrophy'.

You must be at least 16-18 years old, with parental permission, to get breast augmentation, but most doctor's would probably not perform the operation until you are 18 and considered an adult.

The recommended age is 18 per the FDA, 22 for silicone implants. The surgeon at his own discretion may require a later age.
