I'm 15 and I'm 5'4 and 125lbs. My breast size is 32DDD. They cause me a lot of pain in my neck, shoulders, and back. It's hard to exercise because they are annoying and I have a sore back. I love playing volleyball but I can't now because of the pain. Being small around and having a big cup makes it hard to find something that fits right. I'm self-conscious. I hate when guys talk to me just because I have big breasts. I have already talked to my mom. I know I need to talk to my doctor also.

Answer: Can a 15yo get a breast reduction? Thank you for your question! I hope that these answers help in making your decision. You suffer from juvenile hypertrophy of the breasts, which is typically treated by breast reduction. It is not uncommon to have the symptoms that you describe such as neck/back/shoulder pain as well as infections/rashes and shoulder grooving, especially in teenagers once her breasts begin to fully develop. Once one begins to have the symptoms that you state above, consideration for a surgical procedure to ameliorate your symptoms, assist with self esteem, and allow you to get back to physical activities in your youth should be done. Given your symptoms, you would be an ideal candidate. You must first discuss with your parents and pediatrician, and then consulting with a plastic surgeon for evaluation and examination to assist you in deciding if this would be the right thing for you. Your surgeon will also go over what to expect as well as the risks and benefits of the procedure. Overall, your symptoms should be ameliorated almost immediately and hopefully give you more self confidence and an increased activity level. Your breasts may still continue to grow over the next several years, but it is certainly reasonable to consider this at this age with the issues that you are having. I hope that this helps! Good luck with your decision!
