I'm 14 years of age and My breasts are 34DDD. I have terrible back pain, shoulder pain, and whenever I lay down it's extremely painful for some reason, my lower back muscles tense up and throb before relaxing. It's very difficult for me to do anything. At age eleven they were DD and I was unable to do anything I wanted to like sports, or play with my little sister, or even feel normal within my social group. I'm not covered by insurance, but I'm willing to pay for the procedure.
Answer: 14 yo Breast reduction I am sorry to hear about your pain and psychological issues that are related to your hyperthrophic breast at an early age....but we do see this in our practice of plastic surgery. I have performed Breast Reduction in the teenage years on girls that have your symptoms and especially for the psychological factors you have mentioned. Each case needs to be evaluated on an individual basis and with your guardians present to help understand your issues and the surgical procedure . Of major concern is the question have your breast reached maturity in terms of growth? Have they changed size in the last year? Have you stopped growing in terms of height ? Ideally the reduction should be preformed at the end of breast growth....but not required in certain situations with the patient understanding her breast could grow more after the reduction is done. The best thing would be to see a board certified PS so you can discuss all these issues and determine if you are a good candidate at 14 . Best of Luck

Answer: Breast reduction I usually recommend waiting until you are 15-16 to allow your breast to finish growing. However, if you are that uncomfortable with your breasts now, you might want to go ahead and meet with a board certified plastic surgeon and discuss the surgery.

Answer: Breast Reduction at 14 years of age It is possible to have surgery at age 14 if you are in good health and have the support of your parents. It is possible that you may need additional surgery when you are older as you probably have not finished developing. However, many young girls do choose to proceed with surgery when they are as uncomfortable as you are. See a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon that specializes in breast surgery with one or both of your parents. Good luck.
