My Mom had the same problem. Her boobs also kept on growing into her twenties and wouldn't stop. I wonder if it's some medical condition. Mom told me she had something wrong with her because they didn't stop growing until she had surgery. They also made her look fat and she could remember the look on these guys faces when she took her coat off because she was hot. she also had to go to a special bra store because none of the regular stores carried them in her size. The insurance company paid for the operation because her back and shoulders were always sore. Her doctor consulted her about it so she thought about it for three months and went through with it but she was in pain for years and had ugly scars because of it. But her back and shoulders weren't sore anymore. I hear times have changed so it's not the same anymore.

That’s curious. A woman told me once boobs are the first body part to lose fat when you work out. I also wonder why so many female athletes seem to have lost them almost completely.


It depends on the woman.

When I gain weight, it goes straight to my ass and my boobs.

But for many women, it will go straight to their hips. For some, it will go straight to their stomachs. Having it go to the boobs is rarer.

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).

Any info on it besides its existence?

I don't know anything beyond that. :/

Thanks for the support, everyone. This makes me feel a lot better (which is frankly even more of a good thing than it would have been otherwise because this was otherwise a pretty craptastic week for me) and put me at more ease about the decision.

I hope this isn't construed as male intrusion, but I've known a few women (my sister included) whose breasts grew to uncontrollable size, causing severe discomfort and aches. All but my sister got reductions and were immensely relieved! (My sister enjoys the male attention it brings so she refuses to reduce, despite the desperate need to.) :roll:

At least in most Canadian provinces, this is considered non-cosmetic surgery so it's covered free. It might be worthwhile just to not need $200 bras anymore!

When I gain weight, it goes to my boobs, ass and thighs. SO annoying.

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).


If your breasts are causing you physical problems, that would be good grounds to have breast reduction surgery. Though with any surgery (especially something cosmetic) there's always risks so make sure you keep them in mind. I have large breasts and I find them to be an utter nuisance. Though they haven't been causing me any medical problems (so far as I know) so I'm not even considering surgery. I'm just going to put up with them until they try to kill me.

Just do your research and think really hard about whether this is the right thing for you.
