Please talk to your doctor about this as well as your plastic surgeon. With breast implants, mammograms have a harder time detecting lumps so that can be quite risky.

maybe when you get older!

Why on earth would you want a breast augmentation? The problem with getting a "boob job" and cancer is that it can make it harder to catch cancer early when you have a "boob job". But what's wrong with the breasts you were born with? Anyone who tells you they aren't just perfect is an idiot and a liar.

Yes, you can, but chances are the surgeon will want you to have a mammogram before going ahead with the surgery. HTH
