I'm quite shocked at how many young girls are posting to request information about breast augmentation, and express a wish to go through with it. By younger girls I mean under 18. ANY reputable plastic surgeon would only operate on patients aged 18 and over. If you find a surgeon who would operate for cosmetic reasons only on under 18's, you should question his or her code of conduct. I'd urge you to wait until you're older. Your bodies won't stop changing shape until at least 18 years of age. And if I'm completely honest, I think body shape can can change until people are around 21, I know that was the case for myself and the majority of girls I know. But obviously we're all different, so as a general rule, wait at least till you're 18!
