Applying transdermal on breasts?

Anyone here who is using gel/cream versions have you ever thought of applying it to the chest/breast area?  I actually asked my doctor about doing this and they told me that it would be fine but I would still like some feedback if there are those who have done this.  I am asking this because I noticed muscles on my upper arms(where I usually apply them) and no other fat/ muscle change anywhere else such as the fatty thigh areas. So I am just wondering if I were to put it on the breasts, will it at least get rid of the fat a little bit?

I don't think it will help, because aromatase (the enzyme that converts androgen to estrogen) locates in adipose tissue.

I see... Is this still the case when I am already taking birth control mini pills without estrogen (to stop periods)

I was told explicitly not to put the gel on my breasts. I don't know the reason why, but that's what my endo and pharmacist told me.

Oh ok, now I am starting to question it if I should or not. I am taking a low dose of 1% Testim gel.

My understanding is that topicals do not generally work like (decreasing chesticles) that but that you should not apply topicals to fatty areas and chesticles are nothing if not fat. My understanding is the best areas are inside of the forearms and shoulder areas. Some people use the tops of their feet or upper calves, which make sense as low fat areas.

Been told not to apply on chest either. My instruction says to apply on upper arm and or tummy area. Have a look on your instruction it should say on there.
