I hate my boobs.

Post Reply New Topic

I come from a big-breasted family. I acknowledge that and am generally fine with it. However, I hate my boobs, which have taken the concept to a new level. Up until last year (I'm in my mid-twenties), I was a D-cup. Last year, I was a DD-cup. This year, I'm a GG-cup. No, that's not a typo, and my doctor is stunned. There was a net loss of weight this year, no increase. I had a prolactin test done a few months ago that came back the epitome of normal. I did a simple check for lumps. Nothing. I talked to my family about possibly getting a breast reduction, and they were all for it. That says something, when your parents hear that you're thinking of plastic surgery and their response is "*nodnod* You're probably right." So yeah. I just wanted to come here and vent quickly, see if anyone had heard any weird medical conditions that can cause this sort of thing, and maybe provide some advice (Though what kind, I'm not sure).

It seems like anytime I gain even 5lbs it goes to my boobs and then it's just stuck there. It used to make me want to starve, until I got aggressive with anyone who comments on my boobs unsolicited. Now I'm actually having back problems, but I don't think it's my boobs, or MAYBE they are a contributing factor because they're now a D-cup, which isn't huge, especially at my height/bigger frame etc.

I wish boobs were detachable so they could just be an optional body part each day.

I don't know, it's not the same as what you're dealing with but yeah, I hate my boobs about 50% of the time. I used to hate that people could see them no matter how hard I tried to dress to hide them sometimes(like two sports bras and a hoodie) the size was obvious, but I've become pretty hostile with strangers saying s**t about my body and while I come off as really pissed off about 1% of the time in public, it has helped me to stop internalizing all my hate for attention and s**t and start reacting in the moment.

It's just the physical aspect that I hate now. ALTHOUGH, my dogs see them as perfect pillows when they lay on me, so at least someone is getting some use out of them.

Warning, my tumblr is a man-free zone

My breasts grew two sizes after I turned 23, without weight gain. It actually isn't uncommon.

I have one friend who's boobs only stopped growing at 26. At 23 they were a DD and by 26 they were GG's. They stopped there though, thankfully.
Although every time she gained weight, it weight mostly to her boobs and never really came off, even when she lost weight.

Hormones can affect breast size, certainly. As far as I know - progesterone, estrogen, HGH and IGF-1 all affect breast development and size.
Until you're about 25 or 26, your HGH levels will still be quite high (although they should be lowering rather than getting higher - that may be a cause for concern), which means it is possible to increase your breast size.
That's why checking for hormone imbalances will be pretty important, because otherwise you don't know what your looking at is medically normal, although a little later than usual but well within the necessary age range - or whether it's not normal in medical terms and you need to look further into it.

It doesn't work that way, there is a "height window" of a certain time period for that - after which, even if you HGH is high, you won't grow any taller. If it's exceptionally high within that window, you are likely to be taller than you genetics would indicate that you should be. Otherwise, nope.

I've heard of a condition which can cause breasts tissue to grow beyond the age of 25. The women with the biggest boobs in the World has it (though she might not be the biggest in the World anymore, I'm not sure).

All I can say is I've known some people who had breast reduction surgery and they were glad they did it because they had back problems or starting to.

Big boobs are a familial trait for me (stop growing, I have enough problems finding bras as it is!). Every woman in my family is at least a D, and there are a few beyond DD. I support your decision to get breast reduction, they get too big and they hurt your back.
