Although breast augmentation is the most common procedure, there's probably a way to do the reverse method and instead reduce the breast. Try consulting with a ***edited by moderator*** web addresses not allowed for a breast reduction.

I am seventeen years old, and I am a 38H. I have not been able to feel comfortable with the size of my chest, along with the rest of my body through out my entire life. I remember my 3rd grade year I was a 34C, and I was ridiculed every day at school, and every day from there on after. I have always been looked at as a sleezy girl because I can never find shirts that fit right because of my chest. Its been like this for as long as I remember. I have gone through so much emotional stress because of the things people have said, done, and the things that go through peoples minds when they first meet me. When I was attending high school, I was teased a lot for it, and it seemed like every guy tried to talk their way into getting me to take my clothes off so they could see for themselves what I had to live with everyday.
These are the sizes that I remember growing up:
13- 34C
14- 36D
15- 36DD
16- 36DDD
17- 38H (Dont ask how they grew so fast, hah)
I've thought about getting some sort of reduction surgery, but then again I feel like in a weird way if I didn't have them, I wouldn't be "me." I'm not happy with it, but I have to deal with it. Its not something that I would recommend wishing for, because I remember sitting at the foot of my best friend's bed when I was seven praying with her that we would have a large chests, and now look.

I've never believed in teens surgery but its gotten to the point where i dont think i really have a choice. I'm 17, 5'2'' and am falling out of a 32 G! it sucks! First thing i'd recomend before considering this is get a fitting. Before i was wearing a 36DD and it was just sooo uncomftorable! I couldnt stand it. Now that i have the right size i feel soo much better i get complaments all the time about how everyone thinks i lost weight. That was about 2 monthes ago and now im considering breast reduction surgury because i find it really hard to exercise because it huts to run. I am always super self concous and i can never find swim suits, dresses, or just sh**s in general that fit my body type. Custome bras are like $60 each and im starting to get back problems. The problem is my family is really tight on money right now. Is there any way health insurance could cover this?

Some do actually. I have Keystone Mercy and they are willing to pay for my surgery since I am lugging a pair of....(I really don't know lol) They are bigger than 38 DDD's though. I am 17 and I am tired of this as well. I have an appointment on April 1st and I will be sure to update everyone. But in the meantime for you, I would just check with your medical provider.

I'm 17, turning 18 in december, and i vary from a 38 DDD to a 40 DD (depending on the store). I have had larger breasts then everyone i've gone to school with since I was 12. I am lucky in that I live in ontario canada, so once my doctor refers me to a surgeon, health care pays for all of it. I've looked at the pros and cons, like for instance, your chance of being able to breast feed later in life is cut in half. I've been wanting to lose weight for the past few years, but because of how large I am it makes it very difficult to work out. Most of my friends who I have talked to about this support me, but now I just have to talk to my parents. I believe that if I have this procedure done, my quality of live would go up, and i'd be able to wear the things that i love that my boobs don't fit into now. One of my friends was telling me once that she is a D, and that if she ever grew to a DD, then she would cry, when I told her then I should have started crying a long time ago, she really didn't say anything. I want to be able to feel as if I can walk through town, and school, and not feel as if everyone I walk past and talk to aren't looking at my chest thinking to themselves "OMG, THOSE ARE HUGE!!" For all of those who are finding it difficult to find the money, or the surgeons, I wish you good luck, and hope that everything turns out for you.

Hi,
it's great that someone else also has the same problem.
im 38D i know that's not as big but is just as much of a pain. It hurts my back and they hurt when i run or horseback ride (yes, i ride too).
i'm seriously considering surgery and the only advice i can give is make sure it's what you want. weight out your options and see which one would work best for you. My problem is fitting into shirts... i have large breats, big shoulders, tiny stomach and a long torso, the breast reduction would help solve my problem and boost my self esteeem.
if you'd like to talk sometime, search me on Facebook

Hey,

Im 16 and im a 36D.
im seriously considering surgery because i cant fit in clothes and i'm getting back problems from it as well.
my shoulders, chest and back always hurt.
I'm a horseback rider too! nice to see i'm not the only one.
The only advice i can give is make sure it's right for you and that it's YOU that wants it. Weight out your options.
Look me up on Facebook sometime if you'd like to talk.

There are people out there who like their large breasts, and good for them for accepting them. But then there are people like us, who would prefer to not have to waste another day not living life to the fullest because of them. I think your answer is too true; that reccomendations may need to be listened to, but that what the right choice for you is, overrides everything else. I am fifteen, with slightly larger breasts than you, and plan on getting the surgery when I am sixteen, after a few consultations. I hope the surgery went well (if you have already had it, or that it goes well when you do!) and that it improved/s how you live and look at life. Good on you!

Im a 30GG, I actually want a reduction to a D/DD. Oh, and try wanting to be a ballet dancer at the same time. There is nothing wrong with the size of your boobs. GET OVER IT.


You may like yours, we don't. So, do not criticize a woman for not liking orangutan boobies! That's what I call them because they feel like them. Don't put others down!!

You go!!! I agree with this, as I am also another girl who doesn not like my orangutan boobies! (nice name by the way, very true!) Sometimes it's just too difficult for people to accept things like this, and everyone has insecurities. If it is a safe, easy fix, why not go for it!?

I'm 14 and I'm about a 16D, I know I'm really young and all but having a 16D pair is not what I want. Not because of how I look or anything I get back & neck pains, I find it really hard to find bra's that aren't too 'booshy' which is almost impossible so I'm stuck to sports bras, It's getting really ridiculous now, I'm am really insecure and self conscious about them, but with this pain it's the least of my worrys. Can someone tell me what are the risks involving this?

I'm 16, 5'1" and 32DDD. I hate them, I feel ugly because people say really rude and gross things about them and people assume I'm a s***. I want a breast reduction not only because they are making me very depressed, but also because I have severe pain in my back and neck and I can no longer exersize or play sports. I do fear that they will mess up my breast and leave scars and my nipple will look funny with smaller breasts. I don't know what to do ):

THANK YOU.
I'm a 36 H and my doctors want me to wait until after I have children to make that choice because I'm so scared of making a decision preventing me from breast feeding.
I'm not sold in the ides or importance of breast feeding but you never know what you got till it's gone, right?
