I apologise. I always thought it was 18. I was wondering why I hadn't been challenged to prove my age..

£3655 with Levick, flat rate. No matter how "good" or bad your case is, that's the price. My case is reasonably mild, mainly puffy nipples.

It's ok no need to apologise.

The only reason I know is because I had to give the go ahead to have an operation for liver cancer at 17.

yeah, that's funny how it's always different.  in the US, i wonder how old a girl has to be to have an abortion and not tell her parents? I'd imagine it's 18 in the US for a guy to have gyne surgery without parental consent.  I wonder if the age for a woman to have an abortion is the same for a women to have breast augmentation?
