Can I have a double mastectomy for personal reasons?

Passionate8260
I am a 42-year-old woman looking for breast reduction or removal. My bra size is 32/34DD. I am 5 foot 9 inches tall and weigh 120 pounds. Two cosmetic surgeons said they could reduce my breasts to about a C cup. That is not small enough for me; I would like an A or small B cup. That said, will a cosmetic surgeon remove my breasts completely? I don't plan to have children, so my breasts have no medical purpose. All they do is make my life miserable.
