Is Visiting a Psychologist Necessary for Breast Reduction?

June 12, 2011

I am mildly dysphoric about my breasts and rather want a breast reduction taking my large-C-cup breasts to a manageable A-cup. I am 18 and want to know if it is true that I need to go to a therapist for permission to get this procedure. I have talked to several friends, all saying that although I have no desire to have any other procedure other than reduction done, I will be recommended to see a therapist to be checked for mental disorders and then denied treatment based on the diagnosis.
