To illustrate my point about development continuing for a number of years here is a look at my development over the last 3 years using the same bikini top...




The top left picture was taken at the end of March 2015 after I had just started HRT.

The top right picture was taken a couple of days ago.

The bottom left is the day before I had BA about 6 months after the top left picture (Aug 2015).

The bottom center is a few days post BA surgery (Sept 2015).

The bottom left is April 2016 which was a little over a year on HRT and 7 months post BA.

Even three years after starting HRT mine are still changing and filling out.  Puberty takes 3-5 years to happen and when we transition we go through puberty again.  While most of the major development occurs in the first 2-3 years, the changes continue to occur for a few years after that.  Throw in something like getting GCS and a whole new dynamic occurs.  I know that I experienced changes in by breasts post GRS and I've read the accounts of countless others who had the same experience.

I am glad that I didn't wait 2-3 years to have my BA.  I consulted with my therapist and my doctor who all indicated to me that there was no real need to wait that long to have the procedure, but then again I didn't go particularly large for my size.   

Thanks for posting Jess. That was very smart to take pictures like that. That is one regret I have. I wish I had taken photos before I started on HRT. Now it is harder to see the changes. I had gynecomastia as a teenager so I had already gone through a lot of development.  I still wish I had taken photos. I've been on HRT for about a year and last week mine felt like they were growing again. They felt heavier. By tape measure I'm a 40c.

I'm 14 yrs post-HRT. In the last few days, my breasts started growing again...thanks to a change in my hormones (i.e. increase in estradiol).

Had a largish a cup from being fat and not having much t in my body for 4 years or so, on four months of hrt its gone to a 40d (according to the calculators) but I feel its more like a c cup. In terms of growth I felt it about 2 weeks after hrt started and the pain doesn't really stop. When will it stop? No idea, but my mother is rather large so there is still room for size improvements yet!

krobinson103, with all the changes you are having in their size and shape, you probably need to get measured or at least go someplace where you can try on several sizes and style to see which bra fit and feel best for you.

My sole purpose is being the comedy relief around here.

You're on my turf, sweetie!

Genetic women's breasts start growing around puberty and can continue to do so for as much as a decade. And they often change greatly over the subsequent years. Transgender people on HRT seem to report similar spans of changes after commencing their induced second puberty. You'll be wise to be patient and see what happens.

I don't mind being the second act.

That's kind of along the lines of what I've been seeing. Yet I do keep seeing many trans women say they have BA after a year or two. Everyone's needs and choices are different, but it makes me wonder at what point I should assume I'm done, and if I want to go the BA route, or if patience and time, for me, would resolve everything without the need for surgery.

It really is a personal choice and question that we each have to ask ourselves.  Personally for me, I needed to do it at 6 months and my doctor and therapist both agreed that the size I was getting would not be an issue even if I got substantial additional growth.  Based on how I had developed to that time, and their expertise in treating trans patients they were very comfortable with my moving forward and getting the size implants I got (500 cc).  My goal was to be proportional to my size and being a 38 C/D is perfect for me.  Even if I get additional growth and get to a DD it will not look out of place for my body.  I was fortunate that I didn't have to worry so much about the cost and if for some reason I get a huge growth spurt and they grow to an unmanageable or unattractive size I can afford to get them redone.  Good luck with your decision.

I love the " porn look " type of boobs. That's what I'm striving for.

The very large "porn look" can be a lot of fun at bedtime or when you want to seriously strut some stuff, but for day-to-day living having very large breasts is often quite a nuisance. For one thing, you can pretty well forget every buying most off-the-rack tops or dresses again. Your clothing options will be very limited-- sort of like they are for the tall women, but more so.

Then there's the social aspect. Admiring stares are not something you always will want, but you'll always get them no matter where you are. As one woman I once knew often repeated "breasts make men stupid". You'll often be seen not as a whole person, but as a pair of breasts with legs. That idea might seem fun for awhile, but it will get old quickly and then be frustrating.

BTW, I happen to be oriented to be attracted to femininity and I prefer even the smallest natural breasts over implanted ones. Implanted chests almost always look exactly like what they are to me. I can understand why TG people often get them, but to me they just rarely seem to look very good (out of clothing, anyway).

I have always had a very eccentric personality so fake boobs don't bother me :-P

I might even end up chosing a porn-career ultimately.

I would not be bothered by having guys fall of their bicycle from looking at my low cut top.

Breast augmentation can look very good if you have enough tissue. I have a lot of tissue luckily.

I share your perspective but this is also a very personal thing. To each their own and the important thing in the end is that people be happy in their skin and healthy.

Exactly, Kay!
I don't like small, natural boobs.
To each their own. Taste is personal.
