What's a Reasonable Breast Size for a Petite Woman?

October 24, 2010
Asked By:Saratoga Springs in Saratoga Springs, NY

I'm 40 years old, 5'1" & 105 lbs with bra size 34D or 32DD, depending on the bra (I'm not even positive about sizing as I've tried tons of bras in many sizes & nothing seems to fit right, although I've done the measurements according to the guides.) I've got very narrow shoulders & my breasts cause me a great deal of discomfort. My primary care doctor and I have determined that I am a good candidate for reduction. I'd like to be a B cup -- is this a reasonable reduction given my size?
