Large breasts come in ALL different sizes. Each woman's image of what is HER best size is unique and does not necessarily match what is currently there. The ability to tolerate the extra weight varies and gets more difficult as we age. Exercise and activity must contend with the breast mass momentum. Heavy support bras only go so far with support. What is reasonable to have on one's chest does not always match the "criteria" of insurance companies for covered benefits.

Few would want to tolerate breasts of this size. Finding clothing is one of the least of her problems. Neck, back and shoulder pain are not uncommon with such massive breasts.

Breasts are more buoyant than water. Getting into a pool with water up to your neck can simulate some of the relief of making the breasts smaller (less heavy). The typical patient who has undergone breast reduction surgery, expresses much relief from the symptoms caused by the excessive breast weight.

Less massive breast can still be difficult, not fit your self image, or interfere with daily activities.
