If you are: Having neck ; back discomfort, and are self-conscious about your breast size, then you might very well be a candidate for reduction surgery. Best to see a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss whether it would be a good option for you.

Neck pain; ^ breasts: Large breasts can cause upper back and neck pain. Sometimes a deformed back can cause chest wall asymmetry but the more common scenario is breast asymmetry due to a volume or size difference between the two breasts. Ask your pcp for a referral to a plastic surgeon in your area. My patients are always appreciative of the neck ; back pain relief as we as better shaped and sized breasts post surgery.
