Title: Moobs on HRT
Post by: Isabelle1970 on September 12, 2018, 03:58:50 AM
Hi

Just a quick question.

I have always had moobs since I was 12 years old. Even when I've slimmed down. I have always had around an A cup. I've put a lot of weight on and I wear a 44A bra and fill it, however, I digress.

Seeing as I'm an A cup, would HRT likely to have a more drastic affect?

Sorry if im sounding Dim here.

Because I was on spiro for twenty five years for CHF I grew moobs to A size. But with two years HRT under my bra I now have C size. Everyone is different. You too may get lucky.

In all I would like to be a Dcup so know I will need some help from a surgeon there. It's just I would prefer an implant above the muscle rather than under.

I feel like the A cup can give you a headstart. (Though I can't tell you whether that just quickens the start of your brest growth or can result in bigger sizes eventually.) I had small A cup when starting hrt and growing started at about 2 to 3 weeks. Since then (5 months) they have grown a lot and already fill an actual A. (I should remeasure them, would be interesting how close I am to B.) They already look like a "valid" breast. And I'd be happy even if they wouldn't grow any further. (Which I think they do, but who knows how far.)

However, this may be completely unrelated to my former gynecomastia. Also, I started hrt at a relatively young age, in my late teens.

This is an interesting question thoug, which I wondered about myself before.

I too, was overweight. I started out as a 44 B, but after 3 years of HRT and losing over 100 pounds, I wear a 40 D. I do not have breast implants.

I feel being overweight at the start of transition helps make breast growth easier, but the only accurate thing I can say is YMMV.

I think just having body fat in general helps with breast growth. I've gained about 60 pounds since starting transitioning I started as a 32A and I'm now a 34dd....... I was very underweight prior to starting HRT . Mind you, for my height and rib cage shape 34dd looks like a quite moderate sized not large. honestly, gaining weight and being slightly overweight right now has helped tremendously with passing. I'm not saying go out and be unhealthy but I think it's probably a good idea if you want breast growth to gain some weight.
