My target is cup B. But also smaller will be great.
So, yea, 'women come in all sizes'. And I prefer smaller breasts.

But as the matter of fact I know at least one other MtF that wants them big. Got implants in place.

I'm kinda disappointed in the size, in the first year on HRT I still had pec muscles and also a new fatty tissue layer and it was a nice B. Then over the next 12 months I lost all my pec muscles and all thats left is my small A. So I will have a BA... no big deal.  ;D
Well an alternative would be bioidentical estro implants after srs... some people have reported feminization after switching to pellets or injections... and giving it some time...
just a thought...

for me personally , I think it's more to do with proportionality . If I could get my weight down while keeping what I have it would be perfect.

For me, yes breasts mattered. One of the first things that happened to me which confirmed being trans was the first time I had breast forms on...coincidentally they were about the size I am now, and omg it is *so* affirming to feel and see them.

I understand why women who have double mastectomies often become depressed...so much of a woman's identity and self image is tied to the breasts.

If I didn't get my girls through HRT, I would definitely be looking into BA...but to each their own, all woman are women, and beautiful in their own right.
...I think for most of us it is a futile effort to try and put this genie back in the bottle once she has tasted freedom...

  I always prefer absolute maximum of C on women.  As long as they have any semblance of the typical form I'm attracted, particularly to A-cup or similar.  In my transition I never wished for large breasts, but I certainly would have been quite disappointed if nothing happened.  My goal was enough breast mass to properly anchor a bra and to show a little shadow curve beneath when nude.  After 19 months on estrogen I'm a comfortable 34B and I'm ecstatic about them in just about every way!  I wouldn't mind a touch more volume below the nipple but I hardly need more outwardly visible size.  I can comfortably go without a bra at this size or I have the flexibility to boost them up a size or create cleavage on the extreme end.  I can be as modest or bold as I want and I never have to worry about being self-conscious.  It's the same for tons of cis women, so I hardly feel abnormal.

 At my age im hoping that  I can get at  a small C  so that I can show some nice cleavage. Boobs are not every thing, a nice smile and  legs  are good to but boobs shure help. ;)




The ball is now rolling....I hope it doesnt run me 0ver

I like them and I'm happy to have them, but I don't think they affected me much once they were large enough to be comfortably visible to me. :)


(That said, I'm 38DD and hoping they're almost done as I don't want to end up much bigger; it's possible I would have had a different answer in the first few months.)

The further into transition I get, the less my body has anything to do with my happiness.  I'm happy that I get to be myself and that everyone sees me as myself.  I could be flat chested and that wouldn't change.  I used to examine my breasts all the time in the mirror looking for every miniscule sign of growth, but now I'll walk by a mirror naked from time to time and go, "oh wow, they've gotten bigger" and keep walking.  I happen to be a 34B right now, which is proportional to my body so I'm satisfied with my development.  I used to think that if I didn't get at least a C cup, I would get BA, but now my perspective has changed and I don't care.

Right on DG, me too.  I just love feeling real after the years of having a shadow haunt me and my dreams.  A handful is good enough;-)  And those are my big hands most of the time;-)

  I figured I'd add something to my previous thoughts.  Breasts were important-enough to me having a positive body image and combating dysphoria that before developing I couldn't bring myself to present in public without faking them.  This was annoying to put on every time and have it look and move to my 'perfectionist' standards, it was excessively hot to wear (doubled-bra plus gel inserts), particularly in summer, and it felt like a costume and was extremely depressing to take off when necessary.  Now my breasts are 'just there', move and feel like a part of me, and I don't have to put any effort or thought into it.  In some shirts they even look flawless without a bra.  They're visible enough to other people that they act as an important cue when they assess my gender.  If anyone does happen to ask I get to tell them the full truth without any anxiety that "yes, they're real".  Not that it's anyone's business and it shouldn't matter, but not having to be evasive or lie about it is very comforting (and I'm a lousy liar!).  I'm now a genuine female in the way most of the general public expect to see it.

one of my biggest conflicts as a preteen and teen was the inability to fit in a bra like any other girl, wow, what a feeling to feel that a bra was made for my body.

I've had male clerks stare at my breasts while I'm getting my card or cash...then they say, "thank you, sir. .
I look them in the eye and say back. "Ma'am."

"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't notice..."

Yeah right. You were staring at my BOOBS. :\

So far in my transition at 19 months I've been very lucky to have size 38DD in bra size. I know I want a tad more , but I'll be happy with what I have. Just a curious stat on whether your breast size determines your transition satisfaction or is it irrelevant .
I wear 34A's, which would be considered so small, but I'm about as passable at 9 months HRT as I could ever dream of.  So, for me, it's pretty irrelevant.

Yes definitely;
Initially when I started the HRT a second time, I felt very self conscious about how small my breasts were and how I might present, so I went to a local corsetiere and ordered a pair of Amoena Breast forms (See: http://www.amoena.com.au/Products/Breast-Forms/Natura/Natura-Light-3S/Natura-Light-3S#).
They are designed for women that have had a mastectomy  and  are designed to drape softly, so that they closely resemble the fall of a woman's own breast so  no-one will know that I am wearing a breast form.  This gave me a very realistic natural breast look.

As the HRT has worked its magic over the last two years and I have grown to a small B Cup I have had with the breast forms had to increase my Bras sizes to a full C Cup, which really has accentuated my overall look and much more importantly given me a lot of confidence presenting as a woman.

As the Amoena Web site says..It can transform your outline in clothes and give a vital boost to your figure and your self-confidence. All Amoena breast forms have the look, feel and texture of a natural breast. Close physical contact, even a hug, will not reveal that you are wearing a breastform..."

Now if I don't get to a natural C Cup at a minimum or preferably a D Cup which I think will better suit my body frame then I think its likely to be  a Breast Augmentation - thats why I have been looking at Dr Kim in LA: http://www.beverlyhillsplasticsurgery.com
