Q:

I am 18 years old and am embarrassed by my large breasts. I want to have a breast reduction. Is this a good time or should I wait until I am a little older?

A:

Age 18 is a common time for breast reduction and can be very helpful for a young woman who is self conscious. You should seek out an American Board of Plastic Surgery certified plastic surgeon and have a thorough consultation. You should feel free to bring your mother or trusted confidante to the consultation and ask the surgeon any questions that you need answered before making a decision to have the procedure.
