Teenage symmastia. I live in the UK. I am turning 16 next month and I want surgery for this.

maddie831
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!
