18 in most states: Surgical consents require that the patient be an adult (unless a legal guardian signs) which in most states is 18. The american society of plastic surgeons does not recommend that pure cosmetic procedures be performed in minors except in special circumstances.

18: If you are under 18, there is a possibility you can have your parents sign for you but silicone implants can only be used if you are over 22.

18: Unless there are unusual circumstances, such as significant breast hypoplasia/asymmetry associated with congenital breast development abnormality, 18 years of age is the earliest patients can have breast augmentation surgery.
