Can I go from a DD to a B cup?

January 3, 2014
Asked By:Kayla68579

I'm 23, have a small frame, small "skinny like" body. I have DD-DDD droopy breasts and if it's ever possible to get a breast reduction, I'd like to go to B cup. Maybe even between A/B. I feel like it would fit my small frame perfectly compared to my large breasts now. They cause a lot of physical and emotional pain for me. Would doctors allow this, or is there a size limit and if there isn't, is there a lot of healing time that comes with downsizing large breasts?
