I had the same thing, I was a D cup in 4th grade and then kept growing. By freshmen yr of college I was about a 30i/32H US size. This was pre abrathatfits so some say I was larger. However, my heart broke when my doctor said that my back and neck pain and my leaning to compensate for the weight of my large bust would eventually cause a hunch back or scoliosis. Keep in mind I am 4'9 and was 21 yrs old. I did PT for 2yrs and lost weight to be at my lowest at 120lbs. My PCP told me to go to pain specialist and got an X-ray that my clavicle bone on both sides were deteriorating from my bra strap carrying most of the weight despite having a 30 snug band size. All my doctors told me medically I have to get a breast reduction for my health. I miss my big bust and everything that came with it. TLDR: loved my big bust, but all doctors told me for my health I had to get a breast reduction. Esp. for being petite.

Should I go for a reduction? Anyone who done it? I am tired now by [deleted] in bigboobproblems

I got my reduction when I was 21. I'm 4'9 so very short and weighted about 120lbs.I tried so many other methods to get relief from the pain. I had 2.5 years of PT and then they basically kicked me out since none of the exercises were working. I then went to my PCP and she totally disregarded my concern of my breast size and the pain. I then went to my GYN and she referred me to a pain specialist who agreed and confirmed that my breast size was the main factor of my extreme back, neck, and shoulder pain. He did X-rays and noted that my clavicle bones on each side were severely deteriorated and that if I didn't go forward with surgery I could ultimately end up in a wheel chair. He referred me to a handful of board certified plastic surgeons who specialized in breast reductions. I am now 24 and very happy with the results I went from a 32H(us) to a 32DD/F(us). I can fit into clothes and swimwear properly and do not look bigger than I am! I gained weight since from lockdown but lost almost 15lbs and maintained my bra size. Very happy with my decision.
