I suffered for years with uncomfortable bras. They never fitted well and I would either fall out of them or get jabbed under the arm with a wire, and they had to have wires or they would touch my chest underneath which felt really nasty. I really really hated my breasts.
A couple of years ago I lost lots of weight, over a 100lbs and the very best thing is that my boobs shrank enormously. I now only wear a shelf bra built into a tight yoga top. Bliss! I still wouldn't go braless because I still hate them to touch my chest and given the excess skin still present they certainly would.
My half sister had a full mastectomy because of cancer risk but inexplicably had them rebuilt. I would have loved the opportunity to have a flat chest! But nor I wouldn't have been willing to let a doctor chop me about. Losing weight is a much better way to reduce them. I highly recommend every other day fasting along with cutting out processed carbs to stop the cravings.

i am in the process of getting a breast reduction. my breasts are size 36L+ in UK sizing. or about 36P+ in USA sizing. and having aspergers makes this doubly difficult of course! i want to get rid of them completely. i cannot stand the skin from my breasts touching my chest/stomach area. it tugs on it all day every day unless i wear a bra. which is so unbearable ugh! and due to wearing bras (which i cannot even fit into cup-size anymore) i have carpal tunnel issues out the wazooooooo.
anyways. now that i finally have health insurance for the first time in my life since being under my mother's, i went to my first dr. preliminary appt. and the first thing she asked me was if i wanted a breast reduction. and i'm nervous as hell. but i'm going through with it.
my mammogram is next tuesday and then it goes from there... but yes. i want these thigns gone. but from as much as i've read you don't get a full mastectomy ever unless you have cancer. i believe the surgeon will also only go so low in size. i'm not entirely sure what they base it on though. but i think some of it is due to your own body fat percentage. i'd like to be a B or C cup though. *crosses fingers*
Fitness routines are a good alternative to breast surgery.
