I'm only 18 yrs old, but my breasts are already up to a 34L (UK sizing). How long should I wait for a Breast Reduction? (photo)

With the enormous size of the breasts. I can't imagine that a breast reduction would not be a life altering experience. I think you would be an excellent candidate for breast reduction.

Hi there, I'm sorry to hear that you've been subjected to teasing and pain due to your breast size. Your breasts may continue to grow into your early twenties, and even afterwards with lifestyle changes (ex. pregnancy, weight gain). Given the physical and emotional ramifications you've experienced, you can certainly explore a breast reduction with a board-certified plastic surgeon. While a reduction won't ensure that your breasts won't continue to grow, many patients report a significant improvement to their physical and mental state following the procedure.

You may be suitable for the surgery right now. Please see an experienced board certified plastic surgeon to find out.

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.

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

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
