Answer: #BreastReduction - 16, D cups. ?surgery In general, breast reduction surgery can be performed on younger patients than would normally be considered for other procedures that plastic surgeons perform (such as liposuction and breast implants). Another procedure that often has a lower average age is rhinoplasty (nose surgery).Whether or not it's right for you is something you'll have to decide and, because of your age, you'll need the assistance of your parents or guardians. There are many things to consider, including the risks of the surgery but, as a rule, breast reduction patients are among the happiest. There is significant relief of symptoms (neck, back and shoulder pain) along with the improved balance of the body, ability to wear different clothes, exercise, self-esteem etc.But as with most surgeries it can not be reversed and so you have to consider it very carefully. And, with your age, it is possible that you could continue to grow (in height) and then possibility your breasts (if they don't also grow) would be more proportional to your body. So there are even more considerations for someone your age.I would suggest that you continue to do research on this procedure (RealSelf is a great place to start) and then visit with several board-certified plastic surgeons in your area to get an idea of what they'd recommend. If at that point you want to proceed with your surgery you can probably do so with the help of one of them.I hope that this helps and good luck,Dr. Alan EnglerMember of RealSelf100
