breast reduction?

by confused681, Jun 22, 2007 05:13PM
I'm 26 years old and have been debating for a while about having a breast reduction. I'm 5' even and weigh 115 pounds and I am somewhere between a C and a D cup.  As you can tell the proportions aren't exactly right there. I have chronic neck pain and have been through physical therapy more than once. One of the doctors told me the reason for my pain is from bad posture, which is caused my my large breasts. I've been working on the posture thing and it's gotten better, I'm really not all that bad, however the strain on my neck is unbearable most of the time and nothing really seems to help. I even get migraines from it sometimes. I guess what I want to know is, is it safe and or smart for my to get a breast reduction now or should I wait until I'm a little older. I'm not sure yet if I want to have children, but if I do is that going to make the breast reduction pointless because they will just end up getting big again. Really any information that anyone has reguarding this would be great, even things like prices... or a bra that will actually fit me and be comfortable at least until I can have something done about this.
Thanks

I know you may not want to hear this, but a c cup is an average breast size. I had a breast reduction 8 years ago as i was a f or g cup. After my breast reduction i was a c or d cup which is your size now. I am only 5ft 1in. During surgery i had a problem with my right breast which was completly black with bruising..... and was told i could lose my nipple. I was 40 and happily married i had four children and my breast feeding days were over.  What would you do if you actually lost the breast.. part of it.... or your nipple. Even though im glad i had my surgery i often wonder what i would have done if i was left with ONE very nice D cup boob, and nothing on the other side.......... M and S do some lovely bra s i always buy underwired ones as they take the strain of my REDUCED D cups.......Regards x

You really aren't that big. I don't think your breasts are the cause of your neck pain but of course, I'm not a doctor! I'm 5' 2" and I'm a DD.
