Am I to Young for a Breast Reduction at 15?

March 20, 2012
Asked By:XCC15

I am 15 years old an have a DD chest side. I have done some research on breast reductions and didn't find an answer about the breasts growing back. I have back and neck pain, and always feel extremely unconfortable. I know that it isn't a weight problem, I am 5"9' 145 lbs and very active, which is also a struggle for me having size DD breasts. Swim team suits dont fit right and either do track and basketball jerseys. Should I wait a few more years?
