I'm 17 almost 18. My back is always killing especially after I eat??? I wonder if eating has to do with my back but my back is hurting...I wonder if it's from my chest I'm only 5'2'' 120lb and a 32D. How do I know if my back hurts from my chest?? Will I have back problems when I'm older??

Talk to your doctor, there are ALWAYS exceptions to age restrictions on surgeries such as this.
My back pain was because of my breasts, I had a breast reduction and my back pain was GONE as soon as I awoke in the recovery room, and I haven't felt that pain since!
You would greatly benefit from it. If you do not get one, your back will bother you even more and you could have some serious health issues.

P.S. At 5 foot 2 and only 120 lbs you are in no way fat.

I know exactly how you feel. I am a 34 dddd and it is very painful and very difficult for girls like us to have bras. I would say to maybe go to a chiropractor first for a consultation... they will be able to tell you if it is a back condition or a boob one. If it happens to be one concerning your chest then i would look into doctors in your area that do it.... get all of your information on it... as to whether insurence will pay for it since it is for health reasons and not just cosmetic. and as to how the procedure is done. also if you still live at home... talk to your parents... they might have some good insight too... my feeling is that if you are in that much pain... you need to do something about it... im working on doing the same thing....
good luck with all you do and i hope you feel better soon

The best thing for you to do is to go to your doctor for a consultation.
I'm a 34E and will probably consider a reduction in the future. I have a friend who got it done last year, but she already has a child and won't be having anymore. Thats the number 1 thing I've always heard about breast reductions, wait until your done having kids. Otherwise, you might have to go through it all over again after you have kids.

Instead of going through the pain of an operation and spending your time and money look at the other things. You say that your back hurts after eating.. maybe you are hunched over while eating, keep in mind your posture next time you eat. Also get fitted for a proper bra (if you haven't already).. a good fitting bra can help alot (trust me on that one 34DD/E)...
Speak to your doctor about what may be causing it.. You may not be to young for the operation but i don't think a doctor would without looking at all options first.

The only person who can give you a good answer is a doctor. If it is only after you eat that your back is hurting, in my opinion it is not your breast causing the problem. If your breast are the problem, and you currently have insurance due to being a minor still you need to see a doctor soon while you are still insured. Many insurance policies cover breast reduction if necessary to stop/prevent other problems so don't delay in going to the doctor.

I would reccomend seeing your doctor about the back problems. Im pretty sure you're about old enough to get breast reduction but that depends on if it's ok with your parents. Talk to them about it and if it's ok then go see a plastic surgeon about it.

You could try exercises designed specifically for that area of your body. That should help make them smaller, certain BCP's also make them smaller (others make them larger so you might have to be careful there)
I would talk to your doctor about non-surgical options out there before you go under the knife, just because it's dangerous any time you get cut open for any reason

No you are not too young. I worked in customer service at a health insurance company and I worked with a 15 year old who was having it done. They aren't going to get any smaller! Discuss it with a doctor.

If you are done growing, then its ok to get a reduction. Its better to go ahead and do it than have back problems in the future.

You probably could get a breast reduction, you would have to talk to your doctor. But more than likely you will need parental permission.
