A young drummer is desperate for surgery to reduce her 34G boobs which she says are hampering her career.

Rosie Rayworth, 22, has been a professional drummer for the past two years and says sometimes people only watch her because her breasts "bounce around"."

The drummer - who has performed with top indie musicians like Chloe Slater - also says men sometimes record her chest from the crowd which she finds "humiliating". "

Rosie's big boobs have caused her extreme back pain, poor posture, and unable to exercise, ever since they grew during puberty.

She also believes her breasts are stopping her from progressing further with her career.

Now she is crowdfunding with the hopes of raising £6,000 for private treatment to reduce the size of her 4 kg boobs.

Rosie, from

Wisewood, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, said: "I feel like people are distracted."

"When you're moving around and drumming, you can't help but notice them. "

"I want people to watch me because they like my talent, not because my boobs are bouncing around."

"It's humiliating."

"I can't do anything in that moment - I have to keep playing. It makes me feel objectified."

Rosie says there are two sides to having big boobs.

She said: "A lot of people think having big boobs can only be positive, but there are two sides to it."

"It controls everything I do - what I wear, how I move. "

"I have to wear industrial bras all the time and they're expensive."

"Since I was young I've always loved expressing myself through fashion, but I can't wear the same things as other people."

Rosie says the weight of her chest has caused intense back pain, posture problems, and sensory overload linked to her autism and ADHD.

And she says the physical demands of drumming make the pain significantly worse.

The drummer said: "The way you sit behind a kit means the weight you bear is higher up on the lower back."

"After rehearsals or gigs, it can get so painful I'm not even able to walk. I can't afford a chiropractor, but I wish I could in those situations."

Rosie says her breast grew when she was a teenager.

She said: "I went from a size A to a double D in three months when I was 15 and everything changed. "

"I suddenly couldn't wear what I wanted. I was catcalled on the way to school even though I was in uniform - it was disturbing."

"I gave up and wore baggy T-shirts that made me look bigger than I am."

Rosie says she "never thought surgery was a reality," but after years of worsening pain and low confidence, she approached her GP."

The referral process felt "disheartening from the start"."

She said: "At that appointment they explained there was a 99.9 per cent chance I would be declined because referrals are so strict."

"I appreciated their honesty but I still left crying."

"When I got to the next stage, they told me it wouldn't be funded on the NHS unless my breasts were big enough to reach my thighs when I was sitting down. It's so disappointing and I don't feel listened to."

The lack of NHS provision means going private is her only remaining option.

The procedure costs around £6,000 - a sum she says is impossible to afford without community support.

Rosie hopes the surgery - which will reduce them down to a b-cup - will allow her to continue her drumming career long-term.

She said: "I want to be able to drum for years to come without the pain, I love my career more than anything."

"I want to feel comfortable in my own body. "

"I want to be able to exercise, I want to be able to drum without the pain. "

"I want to like what I see in the mirror, I want to feel like myself again."
