I am 16 years old, 206lbs and my bra size is 40DD almost 40DDD. Would it be safe for a breast reduction?

I have been having lots of back pain to the point where I cannot physically get up out of bed or it will give me severe pain. This has been going on since my bra size has been increasing and I would like to know the risks of having a breast reduction. My mother and I have had a conversation about this because its only getting worse.
