Why is breast surgery available at 15 when bottom surgery is only available at 18? (beehaw.org)

I was watching this video by second thought and when he talked about the bomb threat towards the children's hospital, he mentioned that breast surgery is available for 15 and older while genital surgery is available for 18 and older. My question is, why? Is breast surgery less risky/more reversible/something else than bottom surgery? Please, I really am not writing this with transphobic intentions, I'm just tryinf to understand. Thanks.

Eh, with respect to being in bed, they actually encourage you to get up and walk, not a marathon but at least a little, as early as the day after. I definitely spent a lot of the first week in bed flying on pain meds, but I did also get up and shuffle around, and I got the packing out after six days.
