Advice on convincing my parents to let me get a breast reduction. How to be considered as a candidate to my insurance company?

I'm sorry to hear about the problems your disproportionately large breasts are causing you. It is probable that you are dealing with juvenile breast hypertrophy along with the physical and psychosocial consequences of this diagnosis. In other words, the breasts are too large for your frame causing both physical and psychological distress.In my practice, timing of breast reduction surgery is determined on a case-by-case basis. It is NOT too early to do your homework and learn as much as possible about breast reduction surgery and the potential risks and complications associated with the procedure. As you learn about breast reduction surgery, make sure you read about the potential risks/complications associated with the procedure. You may find the attached link helpful in this regard. For example, unsatisfactory scarring is one of the potential complications. Make sure you also understands that further surgery may be necessary in the future (for example if the breasts were to grow in size again).On the other hand, breast reduction surgery is one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform and I think that for the right teenager (enough symptoms) it may be an excellent option (regardless of the age). I agree with you that having your parents understanding and consent will be important; I would suggest that you sit down and have a calm and descriptive conversation of the types of issues your disproportionately large breasts cause for you. You may wish to show them the physical signs of breast hypertrophy, such as bra strap grooving, skin irritation…It may also be helpful if they read informative websites such as this one and/or joins you on consultation with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons. Talking to other young ladies who have undergone this procedure may be helpful as well.   When the time is right, seek consultation with well-trained/experienced board-certified plastic surgeons.I hope this, and the attached link, helps.

Very hard to advise how to get parents to allow a child to obtain a BR surgery. Best to discuss openly with them. Than seek in person consultations with only boarded PSs in your area of FL.
