I heard that it is a lot harder to do breast reduction when your breast are shallow / wide root. Is this true? I am looking in to breast reduction & I am 14 , 5'1 1/4" & 140 lbs. My dad (100% custody) is 100% behind me on this. I am currently in physical therapy. I have horrible back, shoulder and neck pain and terrible posture. My size is 32G, but again, my breast are wide and shallow. Why is breast reduction surgery different in shallow/wide breasts?
