I had a child 9 months ago and during pregnancy I went from a D cup to a DD. I was in pain and discomfort when I was a D, I tried pilates and yoga to help my posture but nothing worked. I am now imbetween a D and DD...would going to a C cup improve my pain level and help my posture?

Answer: Reducing from a DD to C: Will it help posture and relieve pain?
Reduction in your breast size may indeed help address your symptoms and posture but this would depend on a variety of factors including the amount of tissue to be removed and its present positioning. An examination by a board certified plastic surgeon could allow you to obtain a more accurate assessment of this.

Answer: Breast reduction improving back pain.
Breast reduction can improve back and neck pain and help your posture. However, by reducing only one cup size, you will not notice a huge difference.
Whilst having large breasts may well contribute to pain and poor posture, people with small breasts (and indeed men) have pain and poor posture sometimes too. The only thing that can be guaranteed following breast reduction is that the breasts will be smaller. You would hope that your pain and posture would be improved but I would not make that the sole reason for having surgery.
