What is the age limit to have breast surgery?

Breast Implant Age: Breast implant regulations can vary state to state; but in general patients can get saline breast implants at age 18 years and older. Patients must be 22 years of age in order to get silicone implants. This age restriction was placed by the fda upon the most recent approval by the fda regarding silicone breast implants. Unsure for the age restriction by the fda.

There's not one: I'm not sure what type of breast surgery you are referencing, but there is no real age limit for any type of medically necessary surgery. There may be a lower age limit for some cosmetic breast surgeries, like implants.

Depends on issue: It depends on what is being done on the breast. If it is tumor removal of the breast with reconstruction, that can happen at any time. Is it a congenital defect, that too can happen when appropriate. For cosmetic breast surgery, federal regulations say 18 for saline and 22 for silicone implants.

After: Very important to wait until after the breasts have finished growing and maturing. Any surgery before that time can have serious long term consequences. Saline breast implants are fda approved for 18 and older. Silicone breast implants are fda approved for 22 and older.
