I am a 31 year old mom of 3...my youngest is 9...
I am a 31 year old mom of 3...my youngest is 9 months and I have been considering a reduction since I was in high school...I was a 34 D in high school and now am 5'6'' 132lbs and am a 32DDD. I have CONSTANT upper back and neck pain. My neck has been doing this popping thing lately that is extremely painful as well. My parents shamed my breasts and so I hated them. Later in life I have accepted them and enjoyed having larger breasts. BUT I hate the back pain...they are saggy after my recent child and I ALWAYS have to wear an underwire bra or have the back pain....but then you have the bra cutting into your shoulders and rubbing your sides......
I am finally thinking I should go get a consultation for a reduction. My issue is I don't want to be small breasted...my breasts are larger sure, but when I look at them I wonder if I should really get a reduction? I have a VERY small body frame and bone structure. Also have always had a lower belly pooch, even before kids. I'm concerned a reduction would make my belly even more pronounced. BUT I do want atleast a lift...just worry about how much tissue there really is to remove. Also concerned about the whole loss of feeling in your breasts as they are actually very sensitive (not normal for larger breasts) Making my consultation appointment today, so we will see.
Just a side note, its horrible but my larger breasts, no matter how much they bother me, have been a HUGE part of who I am. Many times have felt like they are the only good part of my physical appearance and getting rid of them, while will lessen the pain. I am concerned about how I will emotionally feel once they are gone. It will be time of growth for me for sure.

Could use some help and Opinions.....
I have scheduled a consultation with a couple plastic surgeons in my area but I am really freaking out over if my neck pain is REALLY because of my breasts. I have a small frame...weigh 131-133 lbs 5'6'' wear a 32DDD bra. I definately want a breast lift...and possibly a tummy tuck....but am unsure if I need a reduction. I am scared I will get in the docs office and they will look at me like I am crazy when I say I want a reduction. I am scared that when I get the reduction I will be upset because they are too small.
Granted I am not happy with the size of my breasts right now...they flop around everywhere. I have neck and back pain constantly and if I do not wear a bra its worse. I would love to be able to go braless even if its just in my home....I have set a goal of getting in shape and trying to loose a few more lbs and tone before my consultation. I don't wnat to have to do surgery for something that exercising will fix (mainly thinking about my belly) Ugh! I could just use some opinions of ladies who have been there. How do you really know if your pain is from your breasts? and not just a lack of muscle tone?

Just some more photos....
I have a consultation with 2 ps next week...I am so nervous they will say that I don't need a reduction....I don't want to be a B cup but I do feel like I am too large. I see some women on here are wanting to be a B cup. I think I would cry if I were that small.
I felt like the first photos didn't really show well..lighting/posture...not sure so I took some more to try to get what I see in a photo.
I have a very tight band...I measure 30'' around my rib so I wear a 32 bra band BUT if I go up a band size it switches the weight from my ribs to my already aching shoulders.
Do you think I would benefit from a reduction? Or just a lift?
