If a Male Applied Estrogen Cream Directly to the Breasts on a Regular Basis, Would It Increase Size?

As a MTF transgendered person I am looking at several ways to naturally increase the size of my breasts. I was on oral estrogen which caused them to grow to an A cup, but I am leery of the long term effects of tablets. I was considering progesterone as a suppliment to help but not sure I want my natural sex drive diminished. So I was wondering if I applied a high percentage (2%)estrogen vaginal cream twice ot thrice daily as well as a progesterone cream would that initate breat growth

Will estrogen cream grow breasts?

No you'd be wasting your time and risking blood clots. If you are serious about the MTF transformation, you need breast implants.

Yes, it's possible to get some growth from the creams. But, estrogen cream is lower in estrogen than pills or injections. I was on pills and then injections for 12 years, then had to stop all hormones for two years, after which I started using the creams on my breasts, which were already as big as they were going to get. After about a month I was surprised by the amount of nipple and areola growth I experienced. My nipples have always been larger than normal, but after using the creams for a month, they almost doubled in size. When erect they measure right at one inch long and just under a half inch across. But to see appreciable breast growth, you really need more estrogen than the cream will supply.

I'm uneasy about the fact that only one person has offered advice, that person being a plastic surgeon, and that advice being to undergo plastic surgery. Because of that, I believe the comment on its own does not stand up as entirely truthful. Especially in the light of comments elsewhere by male individuals who have used non-surgical methods to develop and increase the size of their breasts. If we're concerned about a truthful answer to Ciara's question, we will have to weed out anecdotal statements from the non-professionals and biased statements from those we might hold up as expert. But, just as 'non-professional' does not always mean 'unqualified', 'professional' does not always mean 'unprejudiced'. I know from my own experience that, combined with other non-surgical (and non-medicated) methods, it is possible that a male applying these kinds of cream to his breasts will experience breast growth.
