I discontinued MtF HRT a little over a year ago. I swore I was done with the whole trans thing (ha!) and was pretty self-conscious about my five months of moderate, but visible development, so I started wearing a binder to work. I didn't wear it daily, but did wear it pretty regularly.

I'm wondering what kind of impacts this might have on future development should I re-board the E-train? Am I doomed to be misshapen?

Thoughts?

would have thought binding would break the tissue down and make them sag a bit more

I'd wondered about that. I've certainly noticed some recession over the past year, but it's unclear how much of that to attribute to hormone-levels resetting/fat burn and how much to attribute to the binder.

Being off estrogen, and with your bod producing testosterone again, is likely to have some impact on the size and shape of your breasts. Like you I stopped HRT after a while - I didn't have much breast development despite having been on HRT for 2 years. They weren't that noticeable so I never used binding to keep them hidden. I ended up losing a lot of weight about six months after I stopped and that made them shrink a fair bit but I always retained the initial mammary gland development. Anyway, yeah, they may shrink but it's unlikely they will go away altogether. Binding will effect the shape and firmness - I wouldn't recommend it, even if you think you'll never be back. I thought that too... even briefly considered surgery to remove the tiny bumps I still had. Soooo glad I didn't. It's a tough choice and really hard to know if you are making the right one. I'd suggest wearing a loose shirt over the top of a tight fitting singlet or tee.
