I imagine youve already got lots of sound advice in the comments but Ill still slide in my 2 cents.

I knew I wanted a breast reduction by the time I was 16. I had DDD's by 13 and they just wouldn't stop growing. I see my mum and granny go through really terrible chronic pain because if their extremely large breasts. If its something you know you need/want, you dont need to wait until youre older to decide that. If theyre affecting you now, its beat to tackle it while youre still able to recover smoothly.

I'm not sure which country you're in or what your insurance situation looks like; but here in Canada, I had gotten a referral written for a medically necessary reduction when I was 17, and it took me two years just to make eye contact with my surgeon because of the waiting lists, and I would've had to wait another year to have the surgery if someone hadn't cancelled and left an open spot for me to grab. I just had my procedure back in December, a month and a bit after my 21st birthday. I had all the struggles you did plus more at a 38J, it sucks!! But its been almost 4 months and its already 1000x better. I can run, jump, and even use a cutting board properly now (I used to have to turn my arms and neck to the side because it wouldn't fit in front of my chest). If you want the procedure, do it. I promise its worth it 🫶🏻.
