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: 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.

Answer: Breast Reduction Age Limit There is not an age limit for breast reduction surgery. It is best to wait at least 1 year from the time that your breast finishes growing. This will allow for optimal correction, and minimizes the possibility that you need a 2nd surgery soon afterwards. In addition to being a candidate, you will need to be able to have parental consent and provide informed consent (or have your parent's provide informed consent on your behalf). When you are ready, consult in person with 3 experienced and expert board certified plastic surgeons to understand your options.
