Start with an evaluation by her pediatrician, who will be able to coordinate locally based on findings.

Agree with Dr. P. Insurance usually covers medically indicated breast reduction surgery. It will be important for her to have counseling before the surgery so that she make a healthy adjustment to her new body image. Get her HPV vaccine. Wish you and your daughter good health!
