I'm sure this has been asked before but my computer wont let me go through the topics or use the search engine. When are you able to get bottom surgery can you be 18 years or younger in the United states to get it.

Current thread on the topic: https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,157162.0.html

I can't get to that thread either.  It says "an error has occured, The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you."  Which section of the forum is that under?

It was in the bottom surgery section a moment ago because I got the link but appears to have been deleted. Perhaps it fell foul of the age restrictions? I'm not sure.

Oh, perhaps. 

I only know of one person who had bottom surgery under 18.  It's been a while since I read what he said about it but I think I have the gist of it correct.  He was a month or so away from being 18 and the surgeon didn't think it made any difference to wait that extra month. 

Most surgeons want you to be on hormones for at least two years prior to having surgery in order to maximize possible clitoral growth.

so it is possible though and once you're 18 you can get it. There's no age limit besides 18, correct.

Though I'm not sure you would actually WANT it before then. It depends on if you are talking about meta or phallo. With meta, you are depending on a certain amt of growth from T, so generally they won't do it til you have been on T for two years. With phallo, there are grafting techniques and so on where they take muscle and nerves from an arm (say) ,that is pretty heavy duty surgery for a very young person. And though young people are maybe physically more ready, there are psychological factors, as well. I don't know of too many very young people could handle this, being less patient generally and that sort of thing. (Yes, I know this is a generalization, but medical people generally have to go by these).
