It sounds like you would be a potentially good candidate for breast reduction, but I think it's important to not just consider the bra size, but the overall shape, symmetry, and long term results that you could get from a breast reduction surgery.  Fitting well into a C-cup bra should likely be achievable, but I would recommend a formal consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area to have a formal exam-- he can give you a sense of what size you would be, where the incisions would be, and what shape to expect after the procedure is complete.

Good luck!

A: Selecting a cup size is not possible

Cup sizing is not an exact science and surgery cannot guarantee a postop cup size.  Sometimes the base width of the breast is too wide to ever fit in a C cup.  Regardless of cup size, a reduction should improve the size and shape of your breasts and minimize or eliminate your symptoms.
