How to Convince Parent That Breast Reduction is Needed

ginger123
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?
