Is a 32D bra size too small for a breast reduction?

June 26, 2016
Asked By:melanieth in Menomonee Falls, WI

I am an 18 year old weighing 130 lbs with a 32D bra size. My right is clearly bigger than my other and they both sag. (I've been told I'm too young for them to sag this much). My issue with my breasts is that they don't physically hold me back, but they mentally hold me back. For example, I'm so self conscious about them, I've only worn sports bras and t shirts my whole life to cover them up. Is it possible for me to ever get a breast reduction, even though I'm not a particularly "big" size?
