Is a breast reduction from a DD to a B cup achievable?

maddiec
I currently have 36 DD cup breasts. I'm a very petite woman. I'm only 5'2 and 105 pounds. I've tried dozens of bras, but nothing helps my back pain and the marks in my shoulders and back are getting progressively worse over time. I love exercise, but it's hard to run with the bounce even though I've tried even the best of sports bras. I'm hoping that someone could tell me if a reduction from a DD to about a B cup could maybe be a possibility in the future for me.
