Do mtf breasts look like cis female breasts ?

[melanie maritz]

I have been wondering this for a while.  My endo told me at the beginning of my hormone journey that my breasts will not look like a cis woman's breasts and that I will need breast augmentation to make it look like that.

my breasts aren't big enough to say if that's true or false , so I'm asking if you have experienced that what my endo says is true or false?

I think we recently had a thread on this..

but to answer your question... yes.. well my breasts looks like cis-female breasts..

Hi Melanie, depends on endocrine system, age and many other factors... But CIS girls are all different, big, small, round, pointed... Etc, etc.... Well on into HRT  and as your body changes there will be a point where it stops, a few years to up to 10... Once there you can decide.

For me I started at ~ 50 and been going for over 10 years, I am B cup, and I started filling a B cup around 4 years, today change is unmeasurable, but I accept it because I started late... And generally we don't quite achieve the same on a pro-rata basis! But the forum has many girls that more than outdo CIS women....

Hope that helps you...

Well, MTF breasts can develope looking like female breasts but your trunk and the size of it won't look female.

So, you'll grow female looking breasts spaced (too) wide apart because of your male sized trunk and most likely with male looking nipples on it.

Well you could do a few things to help that...
some adolescent girls use a breast massage twice a day to help with blood flow and activation of receptors... you could look that up...

another option could be bioidentical progesterone, in implant or topical form... there is even an article on hemingways "hrt_m2f" stating it has anti androgen capacities...  you could talk about this with your endo...

Having seen many uncovered female breasts over the years I can say without a shadow of doubt that my ladies look pretty much like the "real" deal. Nipples too.

   I have had mine inspected by quite a few cis girls mostly out of curiosity and they pass just fine. My GYN even asked if I had a BA  (c+) because of the density.

I think this link belongs somewhere in this thread  : http://www.007b.com/breast_gallery.php

Ms. Grace actually posted this last year. It's a gallery of normal health cis female breasts. So basically, if your breasts end up looking like any of these, you have breasts that look like cis female breasts.

[katrinaw]

  yup that sums it up nicely, I certainly fit the norm... Teen boobs on older frame

oh my, thank you for posting that link Miyuki! it certainly opened my eyes to the fact that there is no "normal" breast shape

Breasts, like women, come in all shapes and sizes. Many that you see glamourized on the screen and in print are FAR from 100% natural. TBH-I doubt there is an actress who hadn't had a BA.

My breasts may not be "Perfect" as far as Hollywood standards go. But to me they are. Certainly larger then my ex's. A bit of a jealousy factor for my current wife since mine are larger then her's pre-BA. A LOT smaller then my ex-fiancee's with her full D. (Which she had plenty of complaints about)

Yes, but sometimes the breasts can look tubular and misshapen.  My endo claims that malformed breasts can be the result of overdosing estrogen initially.  This of course is easily avoidable.

[Jenna Marie]

Your endo is wrong. My breasts have been examined by several medical professionals who have handled thousands of cis breasts and nobody noticed a difference; there are threads on here from women who've had mammograms and nobody noticed a difference. Our breasts develop the same way from the same tissues and under the influence of the same hormones; there's no reason to think they'd be different (except that in some cases they're placed on a rib cage that's wider and heavier-boned than that of the average cis woman so they may look proportionally smaller).

Plus I have fully mature breasts with large areolae and good-sized nipples, so if nothing else I can say he's wrong from my own experience.

I've seen photos of other trans women's breasts that looked perfectly ordinary, too; there are ->-bleeped-<-s out there devoted to that sort of thing.

[Beth Andrea]

Mine are as normal as can be. No one has ever told me I have "trans breasts".

The shape, feel, and size are all good.

There is a general rule that breasts on MtF will be smaller and a lower Tanner stage (III or IV) than cis-women...but then, some cis-women also have III's and IV's.

"Needing" implants is entirely up to what YOU want, not on some mysterious standard for what breasts "should" look like.

I've said it before and I'll say it again that site needs to be stickied at the top of this forum, like why don't we have a boob thread?

Like Jenna said that endo is wrong. It's true your breasts won't look as full as they could be if you have a large male rib cage but guess what there are cis women with the same underbust measurements who have small boobs too or their boobs don't look proportional at all to their bodies and women with very wide spaced breasts as well. 

Now if you're talking about breast maturity that's a different topic and if you start relatively young you should have full maturity. Its just that takes a long time to happen. It doesn't happen in less than a year or even two either its more like 5 years to a full decade of being on estrogen. Not taking into account diet changes like if you lose or gain weight which also affects their shape.

No two boobs are going to be exactly the same, imho... your breasts will look cis female, after all, they are made the same, right?  Breasts are just balls of fat, and hormones will start directing new fat to your upper region roughly 60 to 90 days on HRT.  It will take years for them to develop into the boobs you want... and even then, you most likely still won't be happy.  Most women aren't happy with their boobs, from my experience, anyways.  I am not sure why your doctor told you that, my doctor told me I will most likely be about the size of my mother or slightly smaller or slightly bigger, which she is a C cup.  I am already at a C cup 4 months in my transition, my back is what giving me most issues as it's not used to the upper weight :\

If I was you, I'd listen to the endo.

[Dread_Faery]

So. Much. Biological. Essentialism.

My brain hurts.

[Christine Eryn]

I've had FTMs ask me if mine were real. When I say yes, their reaction is  Mine are just as good as any cis girls.
