As others have noted, there is no standard size for a bra, so it is possible  you are bigger than a D and will end up around a C. Small reductions can help you with your issues, although no plastic surgeon can promise you that the shoulder back and neck pains will go away.

The goal will be to have you look better and feel better about yourself and body.

Hi!  Your expectations are so reasonable.  This is routine.  Breast reduction techniques and results vary a lot.  So find a board certified plastic surgeon, and ask to see lots of before and after pictures.

You will have some scars of course, but they fade.  You probably will need a "lollypop" scar.
