Asked By:samanthakelliex in Boston, MA

I'm a 5'5 woman, about 200lb, and I wear a 38HH bra. My breasts are very large + heavy, causing my back, shoulders, and shoulder blades to hurt to the point I become unable to work out. Is it an option to have my breasts reduced prior to weight loss? (Target weight of 140).
