What do you guys think? Too much of a good thing?

OMG! Although I'm taller than you (I'm 5'8") I have the same problem - small ribcage, big boobs. I developed quite early as well, and when I go to the gym now, I wear 2 bras, just like I did through high school when I played soccer and volleyball. I wear a 34F/G, and getting a bra that actually fits correctly is KEY as other people here have said. LIFT AND SEPARATE!

Sadly, I've gotten used to my "hunchbacked" neck, the pain in my lower back, and the redness and dents in my shoulders from holding these babies up.

Just wanted to add that I totally intend on getting a reduction as soon as I have kids. Others have mentioned that your breasts will "grow back" when you're pregnant, or after giving birth, but I'm more concerned about breastfeeding. I want to breastfeed my kids when I have them, but in my research about reductions, some women were unable to breastfeed because the breast tissue containing milk ducts was removed during surgery. I'm willing to wait.

As you can see, you're not alone with your problem! I'm currently a 32E (though at that time of the month I can easily fill a F cup). A few years ago I considered surgery, and whilst my doctor was more than happy for me to have it, I decided against it. I'm quite glad I did because my body has changed so much over the last couple of years (I'm 21 now). Like others have said, finding the right bra can make all the difference. Whilst most places don't sell bras my size, La Senza now have a larger range of suitable bras (I think every big-breasted girl I know owns at least 2 of them!). If you're gonna have the surgery, think long and hard about it. Talk to people and do your research. But don't let fear stop you. I hope what ever you decide to do goes well!

Try getting a proper fitting and some quality bras first as some of the other ladies suggested and see if that suffices before having any surgery done. If they are not causing you pain or impeding your ability to play sports, then I would say to forgo surgery.

Certainly do not let lewd or juvenile comments from men be a determining factor -such morons should not be allowed to affect your self-esteem and only you can give them that power.

Like everyone else has said, invest in some really good fitting bras. That might help a bit.

I feel you on the sag bit... i'm only 19 and i feel i don't have perky young boobs, infact i know i don't, i'm 36DD/F and gravity is already taking its toll!!

I think if you are really uncomfortable with it, go to see a specialist about it. A girl I work with is 32F!! They're HUGE, and they hurt her so much... but she's booked in for two years time to have them reduced (its two years so she can save money). If you think it'll help you, then do it

I know exactly how you feel. I wanted to get a reduction, but when i went to a surgeon he told me taht in order for it to be covered by medicare i wuld have to get 250 g removed from each breast. I would be too small for my frame that way (im currently DD-D 5'7 and 135lbs, i'd be about an a). I'm going to save up for it. about 4 grand here.

If you feel as shitty as i do about my breasts, i would say do it. Don't let the surgery scare you. Scarring isnt awful. It's big (i'm sure you saw, the anchor shape) but its covered and they are thin and can fade to be so light. Complications arent horrendous either, the usual stuff.

Anyway, i think that if they are holding you back and causing you to feel uncomfortable in you're skin, you should do it. I was b cup in grade 6, i was always teased about my rack... it stuck with me. I feel ashamed of it. I'm always trying to cover it, i always have my hand on my chest, so i get minor break outs... Ugh. boobs suck.

Don't be scared about surgery; things will be shitty for a couple weeks, but after that you'll be sohappy with the results it'll all be worth it. Just make sure you find a good doctor that specializes in reductions. If you have any questions PM me, i've done so much research on reductions i could prob. write a book.

Since youre only 19 your estrogen may still do some flucuating(sp?) into your mid 20s...so you may want to hold off on the surgery and in the meantime invest in a good bra. I have a large chest as well but Im curvy in addition to it so my build is pretty sturdy for being 4'10". Now my cousin on the hand was like you except 4"9" with Fs Gs, heck I dont even remember but at about the age of 23/24(when her chest size/growth seemd to have stablized) she got a reduction and everything went smoothly from the operation to the incisions scars(and she has ethinic skin so being more prone to keloids(?)) healing etc.
