The youngest girls getting mastectomies are 13.

Olson had 68 surgically diminished girls fill out her “novel” scale (which she acknowledged could be bogus) between one and five years after their surgery. Thirty-three of these girls were under 18 at the time of surgery. Two were only 13 years old, and five were only 14.

Olson is Johanna Olson-Kennedy, the same doctor who refuses to acknowledge these patients are girls and previously bragged about talking an 8 year old girl into identifying as a boy.

I don't even get it. They haven't finished developing at that age. What happens when you do a mastectomy so young? Do you have to get another later or is all the tissue that makes boobs grow removed? (I don't know anything haha)
