Some fundamental facts on
breast reduction and breast lift

At what age can breast reduction be performed?

As soon as the body is fully grown and the breast is fully developed it is theoretically possible to perform a breast reduction. However, girls below the age of 18 should only be operated on in exceptional cases- if the physical and psychological problems caused by large breasts are intolerable – because of the potential risk that the breasts may not yet be fully grown and therefore require another operation.
