Am I a candidate for a breast reduction?

Asked By:jdjdnjdj

Weight: 125lb Height: 5'0 Breast size (approximate): 36DDD/F Hello RealSelf :) Do you think I'd be a good candidate for a reduction? I have constant upper back pain and rashes under my breasts. It's difficult to find a bra and I would love to get a reduction. However, my family and friends disagree. They say that I'll regret it, and that the breast size and the pain isn't bad enough for a surgical procedure. I'd like a professional opinion, as I don't know who's right. What do you think?
