    Breast reduction surgery? For 16?
    I'm 15. I am about 130 pounds, 5'2 and I wear 34 F in bras. I cry myself to sleep all the time, I'm never comfortable in bathing suits anymore, I hate it so much. I'm demanding my mom to let me get surgery at 16 but she's isn't showing interest in it. I'm about ready to stop eating. I'm really uncomfortable. I always dreamed of being a dancer when I was little but now I feel like I can't do that because of my large breast. I have to wear 2 sports bras when I dance and it's the most uncomfortable thing every. My neck and shoulders always hurt afterwards. Can I get a good surgeon that will help me? I want the surgery done so bad!!

    Most cosmetic surgeons wait until you reach 18 before this type of operation is even considered due to the fact you haven't finished growing and maturing.

    First the good news. Given your cup size, height and weight, I believe you are a viable candidate for breast reduction surgery. However, I doubt if you will find a doctor willing to perform the surgery at your age.

    What you should do is make an appointment with your pediatrician or primary physician. Tell him about your back and neck pains how how your large breasts are forcing you into a depression. While its unlikely your physician may recommend that you get the surgery. If not, start saving and ask again when you are 18.
