Plastic reconstructive surgery is done for several reasons. You might have been born with a deformity, you might have been in some type of accident, or perhaps you have been burned someway to have reconstructive surgery.

Can you get plastic surgery to completely change your entire face at 14 years old?

There are two major categories of plastic surgery. 1) reconstructive surgery and 2) cosmetic surgery . There is no age where reconstructive surgery is contraindicated. For major cosmetic surgery such as tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast augmentation; most plastic surgeons require that a patient is 18 years of age and able to sign their own informed consent form. There are exceptions to this rule. Some procedures are both cosmetic and reconstructive in nature, such as a young girl who fails to develop one breast or a benign mole in an unsightly location such as the tip of the nose. Many plastic surgeons would do these "cosmetic" procedures in patients younger than 18. I am a plastic surgeon in Utah (Dr. York Yates) and would not offer a purely cosmetic procedure such as breast augmentation for larger breasts alone to a patient under 18 years of age.
