Breast Reduction for a 14 Year Old?

September 15, 2009
Asked By:callalilly1 in Massachusetts

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.
