i have an average body type but my breasts make me look bigger than i really am and it has caused a lot of teasing in school and even around family (im the only one above a D cup), and ive become really self-conscious of myself. besides the emotional toll theyve caused, the physical is even worse. they are incredibly heavy to the point where i have constant shoulder and back pain. im worried that they will just keep growing. How long should i wait before a reduction is a possibility?

Answer: Ultimate Breast Reduction(TM) I recommend a new technique called The Ultimate Breast ReductionTM.Your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.The breasts can be reduced to the size appropriate for your body.This technique avoids the ugly vertical scars of the traditional technique, maintains nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed.The weight of the breast is transferred to the underlying muscle resulting in immediate pain relief.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Breast reduction at 18 years old Breast reductions are wonderful procedures and some of my happiest patients are my breast reduction patients. At 18 years of age, you should be just fine getting the procedure done. Many patients experience immediate relief of neck and back pain. Even more, this procedure is typically covered by insurance! Thanks for your question.Dr. SchreiberBaltimore plastic surgeon

Answer: At what age should a breast reduction be performed? There's not a rule regarding how young is too young for breast reduction surgery, but your breasts should have finished growing first. At 18 years old, your breasts are likely finished growing with the exception of changes that may occur as a result of weight gain and pregnancies. Your photo clearly shows that your breasts are quite large and it's not surprising that you're having shoulder and back pain as a result. I suggest that you see a plastic surgeon now to discuss the procedure and the pros and cons of having the surgery in the near future. Having a breast reduction can be life-changing and many women say their only regret is that they didn't do it sooner.Best wishes
