Vertical breast reduction gives you excellent lift and you don't have too be any smaller than you want to be.

Hi. 1) You sound like you would benefit by a good breast reduction. The reduction automatically lifts the breasts to an attractive position. 2) You probably should go down to a D or DD cup. This would be good cosmetically and also for your back. see video
