Am I a good candidate for a breast reduction? 22yo, 32DD who can't wear underwires.

5'5" / 125 lb / 32DD Not only has my chest been causing me constant back/neck/shoulder pain for 5+ years, but due to ribcage abnormalities (pectus excavatum + rib flare) I can’t wear any underwires! The only bras I can wear are compression sports bras, whose straps dig into my shoulders and cause me more pain. I've been going to physical therapy + chiropractor for months, and no improvement. I really need smaller breasts (A/B) that don't require underwire support. Am I a good candidate?
