Considering breast reduction at 62

My boobs are making me miserable ? My BMI is around 22 and I wear a 32FF. I have deep shoulder grooves, intertrigo under one breast (because they sag) and neck and shoulder pain. It’s a pain finding clothes that fit and there are loads of things I can’t wear.

I wish I’d had a breast reduction ages ago but have now decided to go for it. I’m quite active with no known health issues and can’t bear the thought of possibly having to lug these things around for the next 20-30 years! Am I mad to be thinking about this procedure at my age and has anyone had one done later in life?

I guess that's the problem Ellie Anne if you cannot get it on the NHS. Shame really.

Blue sky - sometimes it is just circumstances. In my case someone I know lost a nipple and the wound was awful for such a long time it put me off (for 11 years)!
