Tuberous Breast Correction? (photo)

Ok so I really want this surgery even though i'm only 15. There is a pic but it's not mine I found it on the internet and it looks exactly like mine. But the thing is only my right breasts is tuberous not the other only, my other one is fine. The one that is bigger in the pic is what it looks like and as you can see it very bad. It's also very noticeable and I really want silicone and I hear you can get it if you have breast deformitees. Could I get the surgery?

Thanks for the very thought out questions. First best to go with a parent to be seen IN PERSON by a boarded PS in your city. This allows in person education of both you and your parent. Second see or form a surgical game plan. Third understand that there could be a few operative sessions needed to achieve a satisfactory result. Best of luck.
