My breasts are heavy after a growth spurt, should I wait till I'm sure they've stopped growing before I get a breast reduction?

Asked By:kendy.foster in Houston, TX

I'm 20 years old and over the past 2 years, my breasts have been going through a major growth spurt. 2 years ago, my bra size was 32G, but now I'm not even sure what size they are. My breasts have become extremely heavy, which has been causing me to have severe back and shoulder pain. I can't find any bras that fit to help support them. I haven't been putting on weight on the rest of my body, so I'm not sure why they are growing so much. Should I wait till they stop before I get a reduction?
