FTM Transgender - What are the Effects of Hormones on Breasts? Firstly, I'm a trans male (FTM) and unfortunately I have a D cup. Top surgery is too expensive right now, but I plan on starting hormones soon. I'm looking for a few facts on the affects of hormones (T) on breasts if any. Do they cause any shrinkage at all or any other kind of side effects to breasts?

A: Breasts and testosterone in FTM transformations

I agree with Dr. Greenwald, your D cup breasts will need surgery eventually to tailor the excess skin. Hormone therapy is not going to provide adequate skin reduction by itself.

I'm 17 and I Have Saggy 32E Breasts - Should I Get a Reduction or Lift? I'm not a big girl, i only weigh 130. They are saggy. should i get a breast lift or a breast reduction even tho i'm not very old?

A: Sagging at a young age

At 17 years of age, with significant breast ptosis or sagging, I would consider evaluating your skin for a possible elastin deficiency. There are genetic conditions, such as the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome that predispose to loose sagging skin and may lead to recurrent drooping and disappointment if implants are used. Do consult with an experienced, well trained surgeon before jumping into a procedure.

16 Y/O 34DD - Am I a Candidate for Getting a Breast Reduction? im 16 years old, 5'2 about 128 lbs. my bras are 34DD but they dont even fit. i really hate my breast, there very saggy and i dont feel like a young teenager.. my back hurts constantly, i cant wear certain things. i just dont know how to go about getting a breast reduction because my mom doesnt approve. she thinks its dangerous for any surgery in general. plus she cant really afford it unless my insurance covers it. i just want to know if it sounds like im eligible to get it done despite my age.

A: Breast reductions create happy patients

Our happiest patients are often those after breast reductions. They find they are able to do things like participate in sports and enjoy clothes off the rack without needing alterations. Their social outlook is brighter and they often wonder why they didn't get their surgeries sooner. I have been pleased with the European inspired short scar vertical reduction techniques for over a decade now. Ask your surgeon about the possibility for insurance coverage, and be ready to discuss all the functional barriers that are interfering with your activities.
