Would I be a good candidate for breast reduction?

ajnelst
I'm 24, 5'5" and 120 lbs. I was 28 DDD the last time I checked (yikes!). I love long distance running, and my breasts have ALWAYS been in the way. I have a small frame and rashes, discomfort all the time for years. Do I seem like a good candidate? I'm not concerned with scarring or loss of future breastfeeding or sensation. To be honest, I want to have an A cup. I've had a mammogram done and have a lot of fibrous, dense tissue (losing weight doesn't affect my breast size). Thanks!
