Been there, done that. Grooves in the shoulders at least 1" - 1.5" deep, hunched shoulders because when you meet people they talk to your chest not your face and hunching your shoulders helps hide your chest, back aches that only laying down helps. Went to a doctor and after a long talk decided to go for a reduction. WOW WOW WOW - I highly recommend it and because of the above mentioned things the insurance paid for it. I lost almost 8 pounds in "boob" weight. I decided not to go down to a small size but chose a D-DD. I have a small rib cage so going to a 34 D or DD was an OK change. And everything feels normal. I was big from age 15. My sister (10 years my elder) had the same problem (I think we inherited it) and after she saw the results from my surgery she thought and thought about it. But she waited and was 65 when she had it done. She wished she had done it sooner. My daughter (also cursed with a big chest) had surgery at 34. She had another baby at 39 and she was able to nurse her baby.

The first thing I did was go buy regular bras in a regular store at a regular price. WOOHOO - it was better than buying fabric (LOL). I've never regretted it. And you have right perky girls with no implants. It's been 20 years and I can still wear a halter dress or negligee and look good. And a bathing suit off the rack. Oh my goodness. Got a new lease on life. I felt sexy again. Used to joke that I went to "Omar the tent maker" for my bras but it wasn't funny. It was embarassing for me.

I know a reduction it isn't for everyone but it was a good decision for me. Good luck in finding your bras. I know what a chore it is finding the right fit. I did it for many years. And if you ever think about a reduction and want to talk, PM me.

Now if he could do the same thing for my "bottom" I'd be in great shape :lol: :lol: :lol: 'butt' I think that's a lost cause.

Sorry for being so long-winded. Just wanted to share my experience.
