My surgeon will not do the surgery on anyone under 18 years old.

I honestly don't think that you will find one. At age 12 not only is the body still growing and developing which makes this surgery so dangerous. But very few if any under 15yos have the discipline to stick to the after care. Good Luck

I thought I had seen a girl here that was 16, but that was the youngest. Can your daughter wait 3-4 years? I think by then she'd be more likely to be able to handle the responsibility. I wouldn't want to put the burden on anyone her age going through puberty.

My Dr. did the surgery on a 12 year old girl just recently. Dr. Flanagan, Eugene Oregon.
