Breast reduction at age 15?

Question

I am now 14 and a 34DD. Moth my mom and my grandmother have large breast, so I persume this is a genetic issues. I am 5.6 and weigh 124 pounds. Wver since I was 12 i wanted a breast reduction, because i have grown a very low self-esteem and feel incredibly fat. In addition, I have a lot of back problems. I was wondering of plastic surgeons would consider doing a breast reduction at this age.

It sounds like eventually you may be a good candidate for a Breast Reduction. I would recommend waiting until you have ffinal breast growth which usually occurs from age 18-21 for a more predictable result. Other considerations is the potential inability to breast feed after surgery.

Rick Rosen, MD · Answer

thank you for your question. Yes, breast reductions can be performed at that age. I have many times. You must be informed about the procedure, and scarring and see photos of that and also there is a chance that the breasts may enlarge as you continue to develop over the next 5-7 years, but there is no reason to have the discomfort and appearance during this time. I recommend you see a board certified surgeon for a consultation.

Many thanks for the question,I am surprised for its timing since 
tomorrow I am operating on a 16 years old with similar issue in Dubai on
 a British girl.Problems dont have a timing.They do however need a PS that has guts to go against the norms.I am sure you can find some one who has the courage to break the local regulations and o it for you.The
 functional issue related to this cosmetic problem gives you all the 
rights to fix your problem if you can find some one in your locality who
 can do a breast reduction against the local regulations.Wishing you all the best.
