Weighing the options: At 60, Rose Simpson is just about ready for a breast reduction

Rose Simpson said her bra cup size is so large, she can wear it like a bonnet. (supplied)

She also makes sure her mirror is positioned so the view doesn't dip into her décolletage. For Simpson, her breasts are best when they're out of sight. But they're never out of mind. 

"They're so big they're like two eggplants. When I roll over in bed, the dogs jump on them because they're everywhere. They're physically not fun to carry around, it's hard to buy clothes".

Simpson said she can't play sports like she wants to and has trouble lifting and carrying her granddaugher around. 

At age 60, Simpson has decided it's time to get a breast reduction but she's a little nervous about what to expect.
