I have a 14 yr. old daughter who wears a 42 bra. She has Asperger's Syndrome, and suffers from tactile defensiveness. She has angry, red stretch marks and is constantly the recipient of unwanted attention due to her size.My husband, myself and my daughter all want to have something done soon. What is your feeling regarding her additional issues and a Breast reduction? Thank you.
Answer: Breast Reduction Age Limit There is not an age limit for breast reduction surgery. It is best to wait at least 1 year from the time that your breast finishes growing. This will allow for optimal correction, and minimizes the possibility that you need a 2nd surgery soon afterwards. In addition to being a candidate, she will need to be able to have parental consent and provide informed consent (or have you or her mom provide informed consent on your behalf). When you are ready, consult in person with 3 experienced and expert board certified plastic surgeons to understand your options.

Answer: Breast reduction at 14
FIrst, she is only 14 and I would wait until she is of adult height and weight and stops growing. Then a discussion with her, you and her doctor should be undertaken.
