What is Breast Reduction Surgery Like?

San Antonio7296
Hello, I'm 15 years old going on sixteen, my height is about 4'11" and I'm more than likely going to stay that way. My weight is 154.4 lbs. My breasts are size 36H. I'm definetly planning on getting a breast reduction surgery in junior or senior year in highschool, but I also have a slight fear of surgeries. I'm mostly worried if the numbing/anaesthetic doesn't completely work. So, I was wondering would I be a candidate for said surgery and what would the surgery be like?
