Breast Augmentation
I had an eating disorder 5 years ago and stunted my growth. I have never started my period and I am 18. Could I have a BA?
Surgery requires people to be nutritionally sound to minimize complications and ensure good healing. It is important for any candidate for breast augmentation surgery to be in good health, with no active diseases or serious pre-existing medical conditions.
Clinical Context
Since your period hasn't started, it's worth having this evaluated by a doctor, as it may reflect ongoing effects of past malnutrition on hormone levels and bone health. Good nutrition matters for surgery too: healing requires protein and key nutrients, and eating disorder history can affect immune function and anesthesia safety. Surgeons generally want confirmation of stable weight, normal labs, and adequate nutrition over time before considering elective surgery.
