Title: Breast Augmentation question
Post by: Heilotes on February 23, 2014, 02:09:30 PM
OK, I've been on hrt for roughly 5-6 months and for no apparent reason, I'm not happy with my boobs. They're small. In fact I think that what I do have is mostly because I'm a tad overweight. I'm considering a boob job. But I'm not sure if such thing is possible while I'm so early on Hrt. Can I get a BA before my boobs hit their full size?

Yes as long as you can get the letter most require.

Only thing is if you do get them done and you will still grow you might end up with sizes larger then you want.

I did mine after 4 years on HRT.

If it helps I've been on HRT for six months and I still am not quite an A cup. I am pretty thin but I do notice that there is in fact a lot of growth that one might not notice. I mean looking at a woman's body in the chest area around the breasts there is a lot of tissue that we don't normally associate with breasts. I'm talking about the sides around the ribs and the tissue of the breast rising towards the clavicles. You see it exaggerated in women with larger breasts. We have this same tissue but it takes time to develope it and grow and develope more and grow. Sort of like laying a foundation.

So hang in there and speak to a reputable surgeon for a time line of when you should seek the surgical option. Furthermore what are your expectations? For instance I plan on letting my breasts grow naturally for at least two years before considering augmentation. I'm not looking for giant boobs. My worry is that I won't have a breast shape that compliments my chest. So I am planning for that. I worry about that more than having SRS simply because I worry more about passing everyday than on the few moments that someone might actually see what's between my legs. Is this your concern as well?

Be patient. It grows slowly just like in a cis female. My growth spurts were more significant after 8 montrhs and now as I'm in the closet I have difficulty conceiling them. BA was something I thought I may need but the doctors will tell you that the more fatty tissue you have the better the BA. I would wait for at least 18 months to let it fully develop for  great BA.
