So, I have really small breasts and was talking to another trans guy who said that if i worked out enough i probably wouldn't have to get top surgery. even to walk around without a shirt. this seemed sketchy to me. what do you guys think?
I think you're lucky.
It works in theory, but I have no idea how big your small breasts are.
Try it and find out? I mean, it sounds wild, but if you're really, really flat, you might get away with it.
I knew a gal in high school who really didn't have anything up there but nipples. If you're anything like her, you might be one of the lucky ones.
I think it would depend on the size and location of your nipples too.
well it depends really, if there's close to nothing there working out your pecs would make them look more like pecs, obviously. If you're really skinny though, huge pecs will seem out of place?
I've seen one guy who literally had nothing there - he did get top surgery just to get the breast tissue removed, it didn't look any different afterwards....
but if you don't mind the tissue sitting there (and it does shrink on T as well), I'd guess you wouldn't need top surgery.
Then again I had small breasts before but getting top surgery made all the difference. But I couldn't have gone topless before surgery.

not so much the location. he would get peri anyways (yes there is such a thing as 'too small for DI') or rather just the tiny cuts to the sides of the areolas. the nipples would stay in the same place.
What could be done though, if at all necessary, is resizing of the areolas and nipples.
I'm sort of in the same boat. My chest is proportional to my body - it's a bit on the chubby side and so is the rest of me. I hope as I lose weight, work out, and start T some of the excess fat will reduce what little size I have. But personally, I am going to go for the peri operation and have my aeriolas resized a bit. I don't know if I could have a DI and besides, I have enough scars to hide already. I just don't want to have to come up with more excuses.
But just work out your chest area (as well as other muscle groups, like shoulders and arms), eat right and maybe you won't need any surgery :P
I hope I'm in the same boat on this - I'd love to get top surgery but it's not really in the adds in my near (or kinda near) future. I've always been flat-chested, which is good to me.
I think if I start working out like y'all said, I might be okay. =]
I hope you are too.
love to know if this really works or not, also what size are u as i think im small but i dont know the size lol
the smallest A cup is still loose on me.
Same here. If you're going to order an UnderArmour one, make sure you check your measurements first. I'm going to have to order a smaller one until I bulk back up haha I'm smaller than I used to be.
I have not heard of any ftm not needing sometype of top surgery. All girls get some enlargement and changes of their nipples and areolas in puberty even if they don't get much size increase. For them some minor peri type surgery maybe all they would need.
