Breast Growth & Implants

[Guest kyattei]

I've been looking into breast implants lately... but I have a bit of a worry regarding growth.

I originally self medicated for 7 months (though nothing ever happened so I wonder if they were even real), before getting a doctor's prescription for HRT for 20 months. In that time, my breasts didn't really grow much at all. They lowered down a little and poked out a bit, but no more than they would have if I had just ate a lot and put on some extra weight. Basically I'm still flat chested and can't fit into most bras, and super-padded bras are the only way to tell I have boobs through clothing... Since I've always wanted to have breasts (and preferably ones whose shapes you can see through cloths, nd nice enough that I could show cleavage off with), I've been really thinking of getting implants lately.

My big worry is, how do I know my breasts have stopped growing? Am I pretty much done after 20-27 months? I've not noticed a change in mine for months, but they still have that tender, soft-aching feeling to them. Is that lifelong or does that mean they're still (very slowly) growing? If I get breast growth, what happens if I already have implants? Will it cause complications and pain? Or will it grow snowman style (breast on a breast?)? Or just make me have all-around bigger breasts?

I'm okay with the latter of the three, but the former two worry me... If either of the former two were to happen, could I just drop my hormone dose to a miantenance level to stop any growth problems?

I know the easy answer is ''wait a couple years and see", but I have a few months off now before school which is why I'd like to do it now, both because I doubt I'll have so much time off again for a long time, and because I really want to have a nice chest for my first time at college...

More than likely, your breasts aren't going to grow to any appreciable size after two years of HRT. I would talk to a plastic surgeon because they can advise you better. If you get any further growth, it probably won't hurt anything. Kathryn

Hello Kyattei,

According to one of the plastic surgeons I spoke to. The place the implant under the muscle now days. He said there will be no problems with look or feel even if you have more growth they would just look bigger then they were.

Ill be talking to a different plastic surgeon in a day or two Ill ask himt he same question. I am about 2.5 years into hrt as well my breasts are a full A but they still feel the same as yours once in a blue moon.

so I have the same concerns.

let you know soon as I find out for sure

Love

When i went in for my breast augmentation. my surgon did ask how long i had been on hrt and if i thought i might still be growing at all. but when i mentioned the time frame . it killed that line of question. though i did proceed to pick his brain on the subject. after 2-3 years of hrt, you will have typically reached the ammount of breast material your body is capable of growing. baring weight gain. the trans girls he has augmented , stopped growing around 1.5 years. and in most cases . breast augmentation could likely be done before starting hrt. as the growth most experience . is well hardly skeeder bites. so the implant could be placed with little to no complication, on of the major reasons he said is that they "surgons" like to see as much development in the areola and nipple . as thos do grow and that growth after BA could cause misplacment of the nipple on the breast.

i have had my implants in since june 1st 2009. and even though i have been on hrt for over a decade now. i still sometimes experince sorness in my nipples from time to time hormone flux mostlikly , and my breasts still look perfectly fine.

best way to know for sure is to consult a surgon.

Best of luck to you
