17 yo, 120 lbs, 5'3", 32 DDD breasts, with terrible back and shoulder pain. Am I a good candidate for a breast reduction?

LaurenDrake
I am 17 years old, 120 lbs, 5'3" with 32 DDD breasts. I have have always be uncomfortable with them, they are much to big for my frame and I do whatever I can to make them look smaller. In addition to this, the cause me terrible amounts of back and shoulder pain, and make exercise a challenge. I have recently started to get curious about reduction, but i realize I am pretty young. However I think this might be something i could really benefit from. Thoughts?
