Non-binary breast reduction/mastectomy? Associated risks?

April 1, 2017
Asked By:atlas.t in San Diego, CA

Thank you in advance for taking your time to read what I have to say. I'm female, 21, 5'2", 125 lbs, 32DD (according to Victoria's Secret, which hopefully is a vanity size) and I would like to be almost completely flat. I have trouble running & sleeping on my stomach and have poor posture and mild back pain. My breasts look very similar to the drawing, & I would like to be as flat as the other photos. What are some of the associated risks? (Nipple sensation, breast feeding, etc.)
