A member asked:
Could a minor get a mastectomy with their parents permission?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is unclear why: A minor would want or need a mastectomy. Even if there is a family history of breast cancer, i doubt that doctors would recommend a preventative surgery on a minor. It would probably be preferable to wait until they are adults.
