Can Flat-Chested Women Benefit from Hormone Therapy to Enlarge Breasts Like M->F Do?

It would have to be done under the supervision of an endocrinologist. While it may work, adding hormones is potentially dangerous and I would worry about an increased risk of breast cancer. Hope that helps, best of luck! 

Unfortunately, hormone therapy carries an entire panel of risk factors that may make it dangerous and it is typically not a recommended way to achieve breast enlargement. Typically, surgery is the most straight forward and reliable method. There are a few methods including breast implants and fat grafting for enlargement.

Thank you for your question. No, it is generally not recommended. Hormone therapy has side effects. It also results in unpredictable breast size increase. The safest predictable method of enlarging the breast is through breast augmentation.

Yes, hormones can be utilized to change the shape/size of breasts however there are side effects from hormones.  It is always worthwhile to meet with an endocrinologist to learn about the different options.

Thank you for the question. There are risk and side effects to giving women hormones to increase their breast size. It is not advisable unless a women has low estrogen levels. Breast augmentation using silicone or saline implants would be a much more safe alternative to enlarge a small breast.

Thank you for your question!  As a cis woman, your genetic predisposition for breast size is relatively set.  On the contrary, a transgender woman modifies her hormonal makeup to enhance the size of her breasts in addition to changing her body fat distribution and emotional benefits.  There are risks and benefits with using hormones and I would recommend you seek answers to this by your primary medical doctor or specialist.  Typically, breast augmentation is the ideal method to enhancing the breast size or fat transfer to the breasts.  I hope this helps!

In many case estrogen in the form of birth control pills increase breast size however this is not the purpose of the BCP and you have to weigh pros and cons which your gynecologist can discuss with you. More importantly, this is a variable response and not all women will respond the same way and many do not see an appreciable size change. For a larger breast consider a breast augmentation from a board certified plastic surgeon

Generally not advisable unless you have abnormally low levels of circulating estrogens.  There are risks involved with hormone replacement therapy.  Best option for vast majority of women is going to be augmentation.  

Thank you for your question. In general, there may be other risks associated with hormone therapy to change breast size. A safer and more predictable approach would be to use fat grafting or breast implants. I would visit with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options in more detail.

This is a great question; however unfortunately there are
currently not any creams or pills available that are going to enhance your breast
safely. I would stay away from any of
those products, as they are likely to do more harm than good.



Breast augmentation has become so popular as patients
typically are extremely happy with the results.
The recent advancements in the breast implants themselves have been a
huge benefit to women. They have a
variety of options including the new gummy bear implants. These implants give patients a softer more
natural appearance than what was possible previously with saline implants.



I would recommend that you see a board certified plastic
surgeon to help guide you with your breast augmentation procedure.
