Hello! I'm 17 years old, 5 ft tall, about 130 lbs, and wear a 34D. My breasts have made me feel self conscious for ages. It's difficult to find clothes that fit, I have to tighten my bra straps way up so my girls won't sag, and I look unproportionate because of my large breasts and short body. Physical activity can be embarrassing, the comments people make are hurtful (and annoying. Like I'm not aware of my bra size already!), and I get knots in my neck and shoulders. Can I get a reduction?

Best wishes.
