A member asked:
Do you have to be at least 18 to have a mastectomy if it isn't for breast cancer or tumor reasons, simply cosmetic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It is hard to imagine why a mastectomy would be recommended for cosmetic reasons, but breast reductions can be done in adolescence, with parental consent.
