I'm 15 years old and have 34DD breasts--almost DDD. I'm thinking about getting a breast reduction done. I have read a lot in websites about getting it done and I can tell that I am a good candidate for it.I have neck, back, breathing, and posture problems and more. However, I'm trying to get my mom, who is also a DD, to say yes and let me have it done. What all would I have to do before I get it done, like talking to my doctor-wise? How would I get my doctor to convince my mom that I need this?

Answer: Convincing parents to allow breast reduction Your best bet is to do your research. You can go to the American Society of Plastic Surgery site and get information about breast reduction. Then convince your parents to come with you to see a plastic surgeon. the plastic surgeon should be able to determine if you are an appropriate candidate and show you and your parents pictures of other patients. Patients are extremely happy with the results from breast reduction surgery and most say they should have had it done sooner.

Answer: Selling mom on a breast reduction Very difficult question to help you with. First, maybe Mom does not want you to get surgery yet. So there is no way any boarded Plastic Surgeon can change that. Second, if you can get Mom to go to a consult, ask if another youngish post operative reduction patient could be there. So Mom can see the result, LIVE. That is hard to do but it is possible. Third, Mom maybe does not want you to have scars on your young breasts -- again not much we can do. Generally, this is a work in progress. Or wait til you are 18 years old then try again. Sorry, I could not be of better help. Regards and good luck.
