Is there a minimum age requirement for plastic surgery?

Yes, there is a minimum age requirement for plastic surgery at the Plastic Surgery Centre of Atlanta. Patients must be at least 18 years old to undergo most elective cosmetic procedures. However, there are exceptions for certain reconstructive surgeries that may be performed on minors due to medical reasons. These cases are carefully evaluated on an individual basis, considering the patient's physical and emotional maturity, as well as the potential benefits and risks of the procedure. It is essential for underage patients to have parental consent and involvement throughout the entire process. Our experienced plastic surgeons prioritize safety and ethical standards to ensure the best possible outcome for all patients, regardless of age.
