Does oestrogen intake increase breast size?

There
is no safe, reliable or predictable nonsurgical way to increase or decrease the
size of your breasts. Creams and supplements do not work and can be
dangerous depending on their contents. Breast surgery is an excellent way
to improve the shape, position, size, and symmetry of the breasts.

Thanks for ur question! It is certainly possible that breast size can b affected by hormones, but usually not to take the place of a breast enlargement or reduction surgery. Hormones are certainly not a safe alternative for those surgical issues. This is a matter that u should not only discuss with ur Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, but also ur OB/GYN. Thanks!

Thank you for your question.Estrogen can certainly increase the Breast Size. It is, however, neither predictable nor a safe method to increase the breast size. If you are taking Estrogen for other reasons you are likely to have some breast enlargement. Please consult your Gynecologist or Endocrinologist before taking Estrogen. All The Best !

Estrogen may increase your breast size.  However, this is not recommended as a first line therapy for hypomastia.  Careful discussion with your doctor about the goals and objectives of estrogen containing contraceptives is necessary.

Estrogen supplements can certainly increase breast size. However, estrogen should not be taken simply to increase breast volume. It is a hormone and has very disparate effects on the body in general.

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

I appreciate your question.

Best to speak with your Obgyn as he/she is most familiar with prescribing this medication and your medical history.  



The best way to assess and give
true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified
plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.



best of luck!

This question could likely be more accurately answered by your gynecologist or primary doc (whomever is prescribing the medicine) as he or she likely has more experience prescribing this med and the expected outcome.  I would not suggest starting a birth control pill with estrogen simply in the hopes of increasing breast size and there is some concern that taking estrogen in a birth control pill can increase a woman's chance for developing breast cancer.  You should discuss this with your doctor as well.  Best of luck!

Hi,

Thanks for posting your question. I am happy to try and help you. It is
important to remember that a board certified plastic surgeon will be your best
resource when it comes to an accurate assessment of your situation, and
concerns.

Having said that, you should speak to your doctor (OB/GYN) to determine if medications would be of benefit for you. Generally speaking, taking OCPs is not for breast development

Hi, lzzx.  It may increase breast size.  It depends on the concentration of estrogen and your receptors for the estrogen in your breasts.  I doubt that it will significantly increase your breast size though.  Best to check with your Ob/Gyn.
