32DD/E not sure if I should have reduction.

September 9, 2014
Asked By:Karendess in New Zealand, NZ

I am 52, 112pounds and have 32DD/E breasts. I have always wanted them smaller as they are very dense and heavy. Surgeon said he wants to remove 500g (approx pound) from each side, that seems like a lot. I think a C cup would be ok, but will they increase again as I get older. Surgery is scheduled for two weeks time, I am feeling very nervous. Scared of prospect of surgery anyway, maybe i am just trying to talk myself out of it, which I know I will end up regretting.
