Title: IS it possible to stop breast growth after reaching a desired size?
Post by: Apples on August 05, 2012, 07:49:13 AM
Just to put it simple... I don't like big boobs, specially if they are obstructing. The easily they can be concealed, the better.


I know that HRT is a roulette, but... I am afraid of getting oversized boobs. I like small things...

I don't think growth can be stopped unless you stop hrt, but don't worry, it is extremely unlikely they'll get oversized. After almost 9 years on hrt I barely reached a small B. I had a BA this summer so have a large C now.

I wouldn't worry about getting big boobs. It's probably the least of your worries. Getting any growth beyond an A cup is usually a blessing, especially starting later in life. Also depends on your genes. Whatever you mother has, deduct a few cup sizes.

Hi Apples.

Once attaining the desired size, or preferably beforehand. If you consult your Endo or issuing medical authority, they should be able to tailor your programme to suit.

Not always guaranteed. Some have reported a growth spurt after ceasing HRT.

And even a "few" cup sizes may be too few. My mother is a G. :)

Nothing to lose then. With the difficulties for finding a job now and the high levels of trans phobia (even If I am in a trans friendly city), Going undercover at work may be a necessity for living

I am curious to know just how much genetics plays into it.. Obviously the younger that you start hormones the more of an effect there will be, but for someone who's mother is an F, sister is GG and grandmother is an F... well it would be rather annoying if I stopped at A-B when I'm starting at 21.

I haven't actually seen a case of significant growth yet, only in the form of implants.


But anyways, back on topic.. if you're worried about them being visible then just a sports bra or even a binder would do it.
In the FTM section its really surprising just how well the binders work.

I think the biggest factor is probably luck. My family is a bit smaller than yours... mom's a G, sister's a 26DD (pretty interesting size, that), and I'm at a 30AA. Now, I'm only a year and eight months in, and somewhat underweight, but if I were a proper weight, and a few years further, I'm not sure if I'd get to a B, or even an  A.


I haven't seen much for good natural growth either, in person anyway. Although, one has reached a B and one is a C... both overweight, though.

I just remembered about the infamous "linetrap / Bailey Jay". After getting her first boobjoj, she went into fatty mode to increase the boob size. Not really sure if she got second implants later.
