Yes, but uncommonly: Done. While I have perfomed breast reductions on patients as young as 15-16 because of enormous breasts causing severe neck and back pain, this is very rare. The scars from breast reduction (like all scars) are permanent. While one should be able to breast feed postop, there is no guarantee. Also, it is possible that repeat reduction may need to be done later in life.

Is ur growth stable?: If your gorwth is stable, i would consider discussing this with your pediatrician and/or gynecologist first. Thereafter, it is an option for women who are experiencing symptomatic breast enlargement. There are of course risks to surgery which should be fully comprehended and are discussed below. Another less invasive option is the use of liposuction breast reduction for patients with minimal sag.

Agree with others: If your breasts are disproportionately large, you are having disabling symptoms and you have honestly tried non-operative remedies such as weight loss, therapy, pain medication and support bras you may be a candidate. You have to weigh the benefits against the risks of unsightly scarring and the inability to breastfeed but age isn't a contraindications.
