Asked By:Duchessbell in Orlando, FL

I'm only 19 years old, and in the last year my breasts have grown 5, almost 6, cup sizes to my current 34NN (UK sizing). This has put a lot of strain on my lower back because of how heavy they are which makes it difficult to stand for longer than a few minutes. My bras no longer fit and the ones that come close just create grooves in my shoulders from the straps trying to support the weight of my breasts. I want to get a reduction, but I'm worried that they will just continue to grow afterwards.
