I'm 22 and considering a breast reduction but undecided if I would be a good candidate for this surgery?

Tasxo98
I have had big breasts since I was a teenager but aside from some neck and back cramps and sometimes unwanted attention it never bothered me that much. But in my 20s they have continued to grow and it is starting to make me uncomfortable... even in regular clothes it looks like I show them off even tho I don't mean to. I also don't want to end up with back issues or sagging but a lot of people tell me I will regret it. My family is also islamic so they don't approve of this kind of surgery.
