How long does breast growth in mtf's take?

[Jenna Marie]

Cis girls take 5-10 years, and there's no reason to think we'll be much different since it's the same mechanism.

I'm 5+ years on HRT and growth has basically stopped, though there's maybe been a small addition of fat deposit (just enough to fill out the cups of a bra a little more) over the past year or so. My mother is 34B... and I'm 42DDD. My sister and I clearly take after a busty grandmother!

I am a year into HRT and I am a C cup but I got to 6 about six months ago, they are still growing though not too much further out but around, I am hoping I can get to D cup before the growth stops. I am actually fine with my breast size right now though so if they even stay this size I don't think I will get BS surgery.

One thing that does suck is stretch marks, sadly while I had phenomenal growth they are very noticeable on my boobs

It will take precisely double the amount of time to reach full breast development that it took to get half way there.

If you look at breast growth in cis-women ( during puberty) they take several years to fully blossom.

We're going through a second puberty, and it will take as long as they do.

Don't get BA until at least 2 years, preferably 3 on hrt. You're young yet!

I can attest to this. My chesticles were generally small, started breast growth at 13 and it took 8 years to get to the size they were before starting T.

I've considered getting BA, but the life expectancy of the implant has always worried me, so I'm constantly flipflopping on the idea.. Its good to know 25 years later yours are fine. I read somewhere they only last 10 years?? Do you think they'll ever need replacing?

Something that EVERYONE should know about breast implants is that you will grow scar tissue around them and they will harden. I kept mine soft for 15 years by daily squishing them very hard to break that scar tissue. But it has grown in spite of that. Mine are not hard but you can tell there is something in there. Every one of the people that I personally knew at the time I had mine done have had theirs go hard as a rock. The only thing that can be done is to have them removed and replaced. The surgeon may opt to cut out scar tissue as well. But then you'll have the same problem.

If you are small and slender, I'd advise you not to get them. Lot's of women have small breasts. Due to my shape, I pretty much need something there to make a more female outline of my figure. But I am not going to have them replaced. I have no scars and I don't want any. I just don't hug anyone tightly in greeting.

Chin up!

I started HRT 3 years ago on a low dose and 1.5 years ago on a proper dose.  Even on the low dose I had some growth up to A/B cup.  The growth seemed to pick up for a while after moving into the higher dose.  So now I'm at a C cup, 36C to be specific.  I used to think I was a 38C due to measuring but the band would ride up during the day so I had to drop a band.  A good bra also will help give you more shape and profile than what you see when you are naked.  I'm not saying you need a padded bra, though those can rule, but just that you should get a good bra.
The key thing to remember is that it takes a while and you should just be patient. 

As far as BA goes, I know somebody that got hers back in 1991 and they never got hard or had any issues.  Just saying it can happen though the trend does sound like most get a hard layer around it.
Another option that has some appeal is where they reuse some of your fat to pump the girls up.  It doesn't do much beyond a single cup size and requires you to have the extra fat.  I'd love to relocate fat from my middle to my micro booty and the girls.  Maybe someday.

I should add that HRT these days isn't what I used when I transitioned. It is much better I think. Doctors have finally come around to what works.

Cindi,
Thanks for your response. I think I'll just stick with what I have for now. If it's bothering me in another 5 years I might consider it.

[Jayne]

It depends on your genetics - look at your mother or siblings and you can expect a size of 1-2 cups below.

I should be fine then my brother has a massive pair

Sorry i couldn't resist that

  I'm at 16 months on estrogen and about 34B, having started from ribs-flat.  Two of the cis-female medical professionals I deal with regularly are naturally almost completely flat-chested.  There's no normal.  All I wanted going into this was to not end up with weird-looking breasts.  I'm quite ecstatic with what I have now on all counts and they look plenty big-enough with the right bras.  They seem to still be growing though.  No stretch marks to report.

[chefskenzie]

bigger girl here so started with a AA. I am now 44C and still growing!

[Isabelle]

^^ true that. If you have a little padding for your body to work with, it helps. I was a bony rake... 4 and a bit years and I'm a bony take with 34b's...

Earlier poster said "there is no normal" I agree 100%

[katrinaw]

Anna, for me it took about 4 years to start filling a B cup (34B) now at just over 10 years I fill, but not much measurable change for last couple of... I started late in life (ahem ~ 50).

As others have said it depends on your endocrine system!

I just bought two victoria secret bras LOL. It's called the Bombshell and it adds two cup sizes yay!
The price is a bit steep $59 USD each. However, it is good for now until I can get my BA.

Cap sizes can very from AA to D i think 34 -40 Band size.

I hope this help you guys.

I use the cheap vassarette bras from Amazon, 10 bucks and they are lightly padded.
