Can a A/B-cup Get a Breast Reduction?

I hate feeling these useless jiggly things. I'm a 17-year-old female who has never felt completely comfortable as a girl, but am too used to it to become a guy. I'm obsessed with cosplaying, esp. as male characters & near-flat females. Though I want children, I don't care for sex and I've been planning on adoption for years. I'm about 5'6", 136 lbs, Viet-Amer., and am in otherwise good health with no allergies other than some lactose intolerance. Is it feasible for me to go almost flat as a guy?

Mastectomy as a Cosmetic Operation

Sex change and Transgender operations are a complex topic. These procedures are extensive and impossible to reverse. Most Plastic surgeons would insist on Psychiatrc clearance to make sure that such an operation would actually benefit your well-being. Depending on your present breast size you may require a mastectomy scar to flatten the chest and render it more masculine appearing.

Breast reduction

It is certainly possible to reduce your breasts to make you completely flat chested. Since much of what you are describing in your post involves gender assignment, you may want to see a specialist in this because hormonal factors and their alteration may be a consideration for you.
