32J & just had consultation - was informed my options were either anchor or FNG. However, with the anchor I will only be brought down ~1/2 my breast size (1000+ g each), which is still way too large for my preferences (chronic neck pain + headache sufferer). My PS discouraged me from the FNG because I am 23, but I am fine with not breastfeeding any future children (in ~7 years, too). Any thoughts? And are there any healing differences or risks? Will an FNG look "normal" still coming from a 32J?
