Asked By:ally940 in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada

My breasts are very heavy on me, before having my son I was a 32B and now I am a 34DD. when I take my bra off at the end of the day they are really sore and tender. I also can not sit straight up for more than 5 minutes without my upper back getting sore, I need to lean my back on something to sit comfortable. My breasts to the eye don’t look that big but they definitely cause me discomfort. Am I a candidate for a reduction?
