19 years old, 5'4, 145lbs, 34NN breasts. Grown 5 cup sizes in the last year. How long should I wait before a reduction? (Photo)

Duchessbell
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.
