A very large Breast CAN be reduced and made very small at the cost of permanent scar. You need to be VERY certain that you really want to go from an E to a A or B cup because the decision is NOT reversible.

Breast Reduction to Very Small Size?

Reducing breasts
To have the semblance of a reasonable looking breast, practically you can not go from an E to an A or a B.
