Breasts still growing bigger, should I keep them braless & continue to grow?

Question

Breasts are still growing bigger and heavier. I’ve outgrown my bras, should I just keep going braless and let them continue to grow? People stare at my nipples in public because they are growing also

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

I do not recommend going braless as the breasts will droop even more causing neck, back and shoulder pain.  The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method.  This will reduce and reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.  The weight of the breasts is transferred to the underlying pectoral major muscle resulting in pain relief without excessive reduction.  Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained.

Best Wishes,

Hello @Jamie N, thank you for your question. I recommend continuing to wear a bra, especially if your breasts are still growing. This is due to the fact that breasts are subject to gravity and the heavier they become, the more they will tend to sag over time. When you are without a bra the action of gravity pulls downwards, the skin stretches and the heavier the breast the more it will descend. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Breast growth can occur naturally as a part of puberty or due to hormonal changes in adulthood, pregnancy, or other factors. If you feel that your breasts are growing significantly and you've outgrown your current bras, it may be a good idea to consider getting fitted for new bras that provide proper support. Ill-fitting bras can cause discomfort and potentially contribute to back pain or other issues. A professional fitting at a lingerie or department store can help you find the right size and style of bra that suits your changing needs.

While some individuals choose to go braless, it's ultimately a personal choice. If you find it more comfortable or prefer to go braless, you can certainly do so. However, keep in mind that proper support can help alleviate any discomfort or strain caused by the weight of your breasts.

If you have concerns about your breast growth or any other aspect of your health, it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional who can provide personalized advice based on your specific situation.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !

There are two trains of thought here.
If you feel your breasts are too large causing you neck or back pain, then consider a breast reduction.

If happy with the size and you have no pain, then either get better fitting or custom bras or go bra-less.  Your breasts are already low and the nipples point downward, so there will be little change over time going without support.
Best wishes,
