i went to see the doctor before xmas and tried to explain about the pain i was getting in my shoulders due to my 38h boobs she just brushed it off and said i had probably pulled something,came away feeling really despondent but over xmas pain got worse even trying to turn bedside lamp off caused me pain, turning over in bed woke me as the pain just shot through shoulders and into neck an arms.finally had enough so have just seen a different doctor in my practise and she has sent a letter off to refer me but did warn that they are really tight and will do anything not to do them fingers crossed am one of the lucky ones
good for you! im 15, and a 28JJ too, i really want a reduction because of the pain on my back, its terrible :-( but im so scared of the op! i want to meet somebody really whose had an operation so i can see the results.
too all of you complaining that you have big breasts be grateful for what you have. Most girls like me with no breast development what so ever would die for breasts like yours.
Hi I am 16 in a few weeks but my breast size is 32g and they are still growin is that abnormal for my age ?
I'm only 15 and I'm 16 in 2 weeks and I already have size 32 G nearly GG boobs and I'm still growing is this normal or could I have a problem because I'm getting worried because I don't know anyone else my

hi, am 37 and a 30g, albeit they are getting too small. I am only size 8 and quite petite and tho everyone else thinks i look in proportion, i dont. I am fed up with constant back/neck/shoulder pain and have already had major surgery on cervical spine (neck) but big boobs aint helping pain levels. Though people think they're nice to look at (still quite pert thank goodness), they dont hafta carry them around all day every day! If my boobs are still this size when am 40 am gonna ask Dr for reduction as he thought they may be causing my back/neck/shoulders problems! Good luck to you all. M ;-) x
I/m a few weeks of 30 and afetr having 2 kids have decided my 34 Gs are too much. Went to docs and told it could be a wait and was seen straight away. They were very supportive and surgeon said I was ideal candidtae, this week had call for pre op assessments as my surgery is near! Can go in when I like but as I am self employed have opted for easter. Nervous but excited. Not sure what to wear for my 30th as know it won;t fit me after, lol!! Not sure how much they take off, i;d like to be a C cup. Glad I waited until I had my childrent though so coauld breast feed and also age takes it;s toll and now they will be smaller and lifetd- GOODBYE BACK PAIN HOORAY!! Good luck to all of you out there wanting the surgery too x
hi im 17 and i have 34g boobies and its ruinging my life to the point thats what caused part of my depression! i cant fit into nice tops most my mates wear finding a nice girly bra is just out of the question! i despretly want my body back into proportion and for it to stop gettin me down but i think im too young for a reduction, oh and not to mention the backpains a killer and i have slight dents in my shoulder where my bra straps cant take the wheight :(
