Are there injections to shrink breasts?

Question

Hi, I was wondering if there are injections except from Testosterone so that boobs can shrink in volume even die 10 percentage would be ok. There is no fat but I like the volume to shrink. I know with injections like saline and own fat OR so some peeps do to get bigger. So if that is possible there must be injection for breast shrink. If yes how is the injection called. Or if the only way is with Testosteron how much mg is need for shrink?

Sorry, there are not any injections for breast reduction. the only way to reduce the breasts is breast reduction surgery or for some who  may be a candidate, liposuction. Be sure to see a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

There are no injections to reduce breast size.  The two methods are surgery and liposuction surgery.

There are no injections or pills that will shrink breasts.  A minimally invasive approach with liposuction may be a good option for a small reduction if there is not loose skin.  Testosterone is not the best option for this as there can be many other detrimental effects on your body.

I am unaware of any pills or “injections” that you can safely use to shrink your breasts. The size of a woman’s breasts can vary from person to person and they can also change throughout a woman’s lifetime. If you are on birth control pills, you may notice a slight increase in breast size. Minimally invasive liposuction might be an option to discuss during an exam with a board certified plastic surgeon.

There are no injections to reduce breast size.  Liposuction can be used to shrink breasts but this is likely to be at the expense of breast shape, leading to empty, loose and saggy looking breasts.  The best way to safely and reliably reduce your breast size is with a breast reduction.

Thanks for your question Mohinigop!Unfortunately, I am not aware of any injections that can be administered to reduce the size of breast tissue. The safest and most effective option would be to undergo a breast reduction with or without liposuction with a reputable and experienced plastic surgeon to achieve this result for you. I would not recommend trying testosterone injections as this can lead to many detrimental side effects on your body.
Thanks again :)

Thanks for your question, Mohinigop.
Unfortunately, there are no injections that can help shrink your breasts. Injecting testosterone hormone is not recommended because it can have dangerous side effects, like PCOS, hair growth, and changes in your menstrual cycle.
If you want to safely reduce the size of your breasts, please consult a reputable and board-certified plastic surgeon.
Best of luck!

No, there are no injections safe or effective to "shrink breasts". Weight loss, if this is a consideration, may be effective. Otherwise,  surgical breast reduction will be your best option. Best wishes.

Hi there,

At this time there is no registered medication or injection to shrink breasts.  If you would like your breasts to become smaller without scarring, liposuction is the only option available.  If you do not mind scarring, a breast reduction with/without liposuction is the way forward. I would suggest you approach a plastic surgeon who is familiar with these options who could reduce your breasts with these techniques.  I would certainly not recommend testosterone as a means to shrink your breasts.  There would be a significant side-effect profile to this medication.

I hope this information helps.
Regards,
