Answer: Age of reduction I have done surgery on some young ladies your age, and they did very well with surgery. However, your breasts may continue to grow over the next few years. Most surgeons prefer to wait until you have reached 16-17 and stopped growing. You need to discuss this with your parents, and see if they will take you for a consultation. At your age, it is still your parents' decision. Also, it is never a good idea to call someone "stupid" who works with knives.

Answer: Not a candidate I think that you need to have a discussion of your concerns with your parents. Your parents will be the best guy to determining when to intervene with a physician. Operating on a 13-year-old for breast reduction has to be an extremely extenuating circumstance. Please let your parents

Answer: I want breast reduction. Do I have to wait until I'm 18? I'm 13 years old I'm sorry to hear about the physical and psychosocial problems your disproportionately large breasts are causing you.

Answer: Breast reduction at age 13 The reality is that insurance companies will not pay for breast reduction prior to age 18. Therefore, unless your parents are prepared to pay for this operation, in the knowledge that your breasts could continue to develop, it simply cannot be performed. The consultation for an adolescent, with a parent present, goes into the motivation, family history, onset of menses, and a variety of other factors. Unfortunately, none of them will move an insurance company which can simply say no based on arbitrary criteria.
