North Carolina Clinic Allegedly Removed Breasts of 14-Year-Old Girl
A North Carolina surgical clinic has removed the breasts of girls as young as 14 years old in double mastectomy procedures.

Pictures of results from the operations recently began circulating on Twitter. The patients’ ages are also listed under the images, with some of the girls being as young as 14 and 16. The children appear to have visited the Cosmetic Concierge, a plastic surgery clinic located in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The clinic’s frequently asked questions section discusses the underage surgeries, saying, “When considering gender confirming procedures for patients under the age of 18, we do require the consent of a parent or guardian along with the recommendation of a therapist.” It also explains that the clinic uses the “informed consent” model.
Reduxx found that the clinic’s website allows users to self-declare their age on an online form, which does not ask for any verification.
