Hi! I am 16 years old and have been having a problem with large breasts for what feels like forever. I am a 34FF and 5’2, I used to play volleyball but it made me really self conscious. I was always teased and now I go to online school which i love so much more. But even though I don't "see" anyone at school I still will not leave the house because I now seem to HATE girls and how they look at me. So me and my mom decided to talk to my doctor about breast reduction since starting online school i gained a bit of weight, my doctor and I decided that I should have a consultation with a surgeon and in the mean time try to loose about 35-40 pounds to see if it will help reduce them a bit. Well my mom called and made a consultation with the doctor, she talked to the surgeons nurse and she told my mom how she had had a breast reduction and she will be with me trough it but the surgeon is a male, I have a boyfriend and I haven’t told him about any of this, not that he will be mad or that it will effect my decision but he is my best friend he and I are closer that anything and i just don't feel comfortable with a male surgeon touching my breasts. I told my mom and all she cares is that we talk to the BEST surgeon in our insurance. She said that it will be okay because that nurse will be with me but I still don’t feel comfortable with the male surgeon touching me. I know this might sound stupid but I don't know what to do I guess I don’t mind him operating on me but i am just kind of ehh on the whole marking and examining thing, any suggestions? Oh and by the way, I haven’t talked to the surgeon yet so if there is anything else that would be helpful to know please tell me, thanks :]

just remember he is a professional and he sees breasts everyday. I completely understand where you're coming from. I am 17 and I've had to be examined by a male doctor for my own reason but nonetheless i was just as nervous. Maybe you should meet the doctor first so you can get a feel for his personality. You could also request for a female nurse to be in there for you too as well as your mom. Just remember he is a professional and he wants you to feel better about your self and make life easier for you and Im sure he does not want to make you uncomfortable.
