Ok first I wasnt sure where to put this but I hope its in the right spot, but well see i'm 17 and umm I have a huge chest lol and well I sloutch alot when I stand or sit and it hurts if I try to sit ur stand up straight after a while and i'm about 5'8 so I guess i'm average height for a girl, and so my aunt told me I should get a breast reduction, cos she thinks the weight is making me sloutch or whatever but i'm not sure if I should do it because i'm still young and I just turned 17 and I dont want it to screw up my body later, such as if I had it done in the summer, since i'm still growing will it make my chest look weird or something, but i'm not sure what do to, because i'm not a "big" person but i'm not tiny either so I dunno if weight plays into that but i'm not sure...I asked the doctor and she said that I couldnt do it till I was 17 and well I am now and i'm not sure what I should do, any suggestions?

My aunt is the same way except she didn't get a breast reduction and now she has back and neck problems from the extra weight. Some of you breast sime has to do with heredity and some has to do with your weight and how much fat there is on your body. You should do what makes you comfortable but if it is going to hurt your body then you should get the reduction.

Back and neck problems is common with smaller girls with larger breasts. A reduction might be in order if this becomes very problematic, although I do believe you're still too young to make this decision indefinately. I would be much more inclined to recommend you strengthen your back muscles, neck muscles, and tone your whole body while you're at it. In other words, go to the gym. There is no such thing as "breasts are too big for my back to support it"... It is more in the realm of, "my back is not strong enough to support my breasts".

Unless there are more severe side effects/problems from your breast size, I would say keep it as is until you're a bit older.

I'm not even sure they would give you a surgery until you're over 18 unless you absolutely needed it. I'd check on that just to make sure.
