Title: Will they come back?
Post by: Tyler on October 10, 2012, 12:41:46 AM
I was reading a few posts on here about breasts after SRS. I know they shrink from the lack of E before surgery, but they do return to the size they were before you stopped right, with a chance of getting bigger?

Given the short amount of time involved they shouldn't shrink much if at all, and would start growing again and probably faster with the T factories removed.  Some of the post op girls should be able to give a personal opinion.

Right, and right :)

Accent is on "chance", also 2 - 3 weeks off E will hardly make a difference to your breasts as established, but will quite likely cause some vasomotor (menopause) symptoms.

I have to agree the short time your off E before the surgery won't effect the size, I didn't have to stop I have only had an orchi and yes they real do grow when the T factories are gone. I have heard that alot of women after surgery get to within a cup size under your mother's size I must be the exception I am a large B small C cup now depends on band size a 38 B is FULL a 36 C is empty a 38 C does not quite fill the cups????

Yes they hurt like hell! I have to prop up my upper chest at night, just so my breasts don't touch the mattress. D:

Hi,

With out info its not helping . = like how long have you been on meds type & dose rate  your body weight  height & any health issues, & has one been on  other meds that can effect any number of factors .& age

Iv been on mones for over 8 years, been off them for two periods of 11 & 5 weeks,  from a B  size down to an A, over the 11 weeks, & it took over  6 months to get back to where i was, age 58. remember i was at the time had been on them for 2 years,

& T blockers had no effect on myself  due to a difference with my hormones  & E at a low dose rate though i could have uped it if i needed to ,was not needed,

Yes  normaly they will go back to the size you stoped though you dont say how long youv been on them , so cant answer that,

Your age, dose rate & how long youv taken them would give me more to work with, & expections. Its like   asking how long is a peace of string if i cant see it id have no idear,

my doctor told me he doesn't think breasts reach full size until After GRS....
You never know, the endocrine society says full brest development takes 2-3 years but it can be as much as 5 years.  Those of you that reach a B or C cup after a few months of HRt (assuming you are not overweight) are the exception not the rule, but very lucky :)
