For most patients with tuberous breasts, the NHS will not fund treatment at the current time. This does depend partly on which integrated care board is responsible for the funding in your area, the severity of the condition, and the degree of asymmetry (if there is any) that you have.

Best of luck to you.

I understand your concerns. However, photos or in person consultation would help to provide a more informative answer. If you truly have tuberous breasts, and it sounds like you do, fat transfer alone unfortunately is not the answer. Tight lower pole must be released and transferred fat will not...
You appear to have a distinct breast fold and no constriction of tissue around your nipples, therefore your breasts aren’t tuberous.
Development of the breasts is usually finished by the age of 15. However, conditions like pregnancy, hormonal therapy etc. may change this. You seem to have some elements of narrow based, tuberous breasts, but that should not be the reason for surgery unless you want slightly larger breasts. In...
