As a teen I was a 32B, I was athletic back then with a very low % of body fat. I am now 30 and lost appx 30 lbs in the last year. I'm nearly back at my teenage weight and now an A cup. My body fat % today is quite a bit higher now, so this doesn't make any sense to me.

Answer: Shrinking Breasts Thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear what you are going through. Breasts can change throughout out time. Relying causes can be breastfeeding, weight loss, aging, hormonal changes, menopause and post pregnancy. Breasts can enlarge with weight gain and can swell during breastfeeding. Since you have lost a significant amount of weight you should expect your breast size to have decreased. If your BMI is higher, the fat could be in other areas of the body. I would suggest you schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a full examination and discuss your treatment options and the result you are trying to achieve.

Answer: What Would Cause my Breasts to Shrink? There are several factors that may lead to this. Normal aging processes that effect skin elasticity, density (% of glandular tissue vs fat), weight gain or loss, pregnancy and genetics. As women age, their breast changes in that there is a higher percentage of fatty tissue compared to glandular tissue to that of a young women, the skin loses its elasticity and thus recoil, leading to drooping of the breast (ptosis). Large fluctuations in weight and aging will all cause various changes in the distribution of fat on the body. For example, as a young women you may have gained fat in your abdomen and breast but now it is more localized to your hips and thighs. A consultation with a plastic surgeon will be beneficial in determining if an augmentation, breast lift or both is necessary to regain your youthful appearance. Hope that helps!

Answer: Shrinking #Breasts? It's Not Magic, It's Aging. What you are describing is all too common with the aging process. Women's bodies store fat differently as they continue to mature, and women do lose volume at the breasts. If you are looking to restore volume to and shape the breast, consider #breastaugmentation. Breast augmentation can be achieved with the use of implants or by taking fat from another area and harvesting it to the breasts. An experienced #plasticsurgeon can assess your breast anatomy, review the details of both procedures and help you make a decision based on your goals for approving the appearance of your breasts.
