When I turned about 11, i realised my breasts started to grow very close to each other. They are now attached and I have breast tissue between my breasts. I have always been self conscious of this, and I have very large breasts. 34DDD. I have a petite frame, yet my breasts really annoy me, and I have only very recently discovered symmastia. Would I be allowed surgery at 16 years old, and would I have to pay for it? Thank you!
Answer: Teenage Symmastia. I Live In The UK. I Am Turning 16 Next Month And I Want Surgery For This. Thank you for your question.You seem to have Juvenile Hypertrophy of the Breasts. This is usually an indication for Breast Reduction, especially if symptomatic. The extra breast tissue between the breasts can also be removed at the time of the reduction. Please make an appointment with an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who can examine you and help you.All The Best!

Answer: Breast reduction See a local family doc who will refer you to a registrar plastic surgeon. If you have neck, back and shoulder pain you are probably a good candidate for coverage with the NHS.If you don't have coverage consider a trip to a qualified board certified plastic surgeon in the states. I have had several patients from GB for this and other procedures. Good luck

Answer: Teenage symmastia. I live in the UK. I am turning 16 next month and I want surgery for this. 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 (possible) psychosocial consequences of this diagnosis.

Answer: Possible breast reduction? Hello maddie831. Thanks for your question. It's possible you're a candidate for a breast reduction. This operation can be performed at your age if your breasts are extremely large and burdensome. You will have to see a plastic surgeon in the UK who can guide you with regards to NHS coverage. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO.
