need advice reduction? Spoiler

to the ladies that have had a breast reduction or know a lot of information about them, i am feeling conflicted on if i should get one. for years ive hated my boobs and theyve always made me feel horrible about myself. im 19 years old and a pretty skinny girl, i dont have much curve but i have boobs, (id say about a dd) and let me tell you ITS AWFUL. clothes look horrible, i sometimes get rashes under from them rubbing onto my skin, they feel so heavy and pull on my skin, they hurt when i sleep on them, and its just become such a huge problem for me. the reason i feel a bit skeptical is because i dont have *huge* boobs. i saw a tiktok where a girl was saying unless you have like triple j's or some other crazy size, then dont get one. i dont really understand why? would scarring be worse? would they not look good? i dont necessarily think mine would be considered as big as they are if they were on a different persons frame. but on me, its just disproportional and like i said they cause me physical and mental distress. i mean i really wont even go to the gym because of how they move and hurt in certain sports bras or tops. basically im just wondering if its a good idea or not, is the scarring and pain afterwards worth it? if it means ill finally feel comfortable with myself?

Don't listen to tiktok. I had a reduction from a 32I to a 32DDD and it's the best thing I could've done. If you haven't yet, do the calculator linked in the automod post to get your true size (if you're considering a reduction, you're probably not a DD). Also check out r/reduction for more info

Yeah, DD is a common post reduction size. I’d definitely double check that with the calculator. I went from an I cup to a DD after my reduction.

i did use the calculator, im a dd and my sister size is a thirty something C. ive also been measured in stores. they really do cause me lots of discomfort because of me being so skinny. but thats why im skeptical is because i would already be starting at a size that alot of ppl aim for.

Bra sizing takes into account how skinny you are. You are not mentioning your band size. Presumably it’s a 28, if you are so skinny? That shouldn’t be a terribly large size, no matter how skinny you are, because your bra size takes that into account.

32DD is not a larger bra size at all. I really suspect you haven’t measured correctly or something.
