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.

Money and religious fundamentalist legislation. Same reason Viagra is covered by insurance but tampons can’t be supplied in schools.
