I am thinking about getting a breast reduction. I am in highschool and very active with sports. But I am petite and 5'1 with almost double D's. I am starting to get neck and back aches. They are also starting to make me feel uncomfortable and frustrate me when my clothes don't fit or look right. Would breast reduction be something to look into?

You are still quite young have you discuss this with your mom or physician.
Have you tried weight training that focuses in on the muscle groups that can help with handling the weight --this will also "re-shape" you. Also, you might just not have the proper bra - the ones in the dept stores are just not made for someone like you - and me! Try and go to a specialty store when you can be properly measured. These type of bras might be expensive but well worth it. Please bare in mind that reduction surgery can be quite painful and leave permanent scares that you might naot be able to hide.
If you're breast gives you nothing but pain in your neck and back, then it is not bad to have a breast reduction. Ask a surgeon about it. You can consult with them and they will explain all the details to you and will tell you if you can get the procedure. Don't be afraid. Contact Dr. Hsu of Memorial Plastic Surgery if haven't known any surgeon yet. I have read a lot of articles about him and I think he is a good doctor.
Yeah, it would help, especially that they have been causing problems on you and your lifestyle. But make sure to consider other factors as well. Be sure to be fully prepared before doing it and seek the advice of those around you who care for you like friends and family.
Most women who undergo breast surgery (enhancement and reduction) used to be unhappy with their breasts. You can always consult and see a surgeon before you go under the knife. This is usually how the process would go. I was unhappy with my breast size, the exact opposite to what you're having problems with. Then, I thought of taking a medical trip from lotusmedicalinternational.com. Perhaps, if the surgery satisfied me, then it would on you too.
It's not perfection when you don't have the right body type for it. Or it leads to back problems.
