I know women who are naturaly small breasted whio buy bra's that make them look a little bigger.They wear them all the time in public...

Me personaly prefer smaller breasts to big ones.
I've been sexually involved with women of all sizes.
2 women .. 1 is my niece who saved her money to have a reduction b/c of back problems from having big breasts, she was 17 yrs. old when she had it done, the other lady was in her late 50's.
Neither mentioned more lung capacity, But that sounds like an advantage to reductions...

Surgery's that cause serious change to 1's body can have profound mental thoughts due to the change from what they've had for yrs..
3 guys I know had circumcscions in their adult yrs. have talked about depressions & even schock from having it done.
1 of them couldn't get erections ever again from having it done. I guess the doc cut something(s) that prevented erections..
1 guy wasn't mentaly stable before the surgery which was circumcision & web removal, he ended up in the nut ward for awhile afterward... Nut ward = Mental hospitol.

i do not have gender confusion at all. so i cannot relate to that aspect. howver i lost weight in the past year....40 lbs.....not really from trying so still wondering about that.
but i have been overweight a long time, so for me that is good . i have always been very large in breast dept.......and what cowboy mentioned , i had always dreamt of doing a reduction surgery, for the reason his niece did it.
major neck/ back pain all my life , even headaches from the strain in neck area.
at the age that i am , gravity has taken a toll........if you get my meaning.
my breasts simply are not where they used to be, or should be.

and, come to think of it, i guess the word you used.....atrophied...fits my situation, as well.
i noticed with some alarm recently, that for the fist time in my life, i can see my ribs !
that may be normal for others but when i saw it in mirror it freaked me out.
i am still not a so called thin person.....
ironically, i am glad for weight loss , including the breasts, and my wonderful sexual partner of one year, seems disappointed about it.
he often says "you really lost weight" but i do not think he has said "and you look good" the only thing he did say is " your boobs are smaller"

so , if i understand your concern---would it be correct for me to assume you associate your femininity , with your breasts ?
i guess i do, and for that reason, i guess i am not entirely happy about the weight loss, in the breasts.....but my neck is happy !

Thanks for the replies!

If you have ou seen movie "English patient", the main character Kristin Smith Thomas has rarelly small boobs....i have the same type of body she does. And, every day for whole my life while changing, i hate what i see in the mirror. Despite, i had plenty of lovers in my life, every failure in relationships with man, i do associate with my boobs. I do believe that man can not commit to a women with such a difect. I d love to have a sergery, but i can't due to couple of reason. I am 43, married...very unhappily. My spouse does not care, but i do not care what he loves or not. And, do you know what...i just gave up on finding a men for me, the perfect match. I am in general pretty, so I like sexy and cool guys. The apperance of man is very important to me as i am very much visually stimulated person. And man still notice me and make rounds ...but, i know if it would get to the bed, there will be a great disappointment. I weare the bra of cz all the time, this way i look very proportional. So, man have no clue that my small boobs are actually twice smaller than they appear. It is so, so frustrating...but what can I do? In general, it is not always possible to change your look. Some people got lucky with how they look, some not. Big brest, even if it sunk is not a big deal of a problem. Man have their issues too. Try to accept youself the way you are, this is what I am trying to work on currently.

It sounds like it isn't so much the size your breast are but the fact that they are more sagging?
Can you just get them lifted?

I cannot even begin to imagine what it would be like to have big boobs as I have been an A my whole life, and since I work out all the time my body fat is very low so now I am LESS than an A......LOL!
I thought about implants many times in my life, but realized the health risks and the money involved were not worth it.
I have NEVER had a man act "disappointed" in my breasts. As a matter of fact I must draw men that like little ones because they seem to actually Like them.

Maybe you can talk to a therapist about all of this?
Look into some options to help you feel better?

Good Luck.

When I had a hysterectomy my boobs deflated. Or felt like that. I started using an estrogen patch and they ballooned back up. Quit the patches and they deflated again. I still feel like I'm all woman even without my reproductive parts. Your boobs change all your life. I think it is natural to go thru these changes.

Hmmmm I wonder if I got an estrogen patch if my boobs would grow?!

:)

I prefer them on the small side, rather than the big side.

I'v never understood the draw to BIG boobs myself, but that's just me.

big boobs are great...put face inbetween them and go Bababababa back and forth side to side...LOL

sorry had to humor someone sick like me...LOL

This is not a size thing yet...it just seems like this is total atrophy of the breast glands. Breasts have been shrinking since April and are totally soft and floppy and don't feel the same. My upper body seems a little more masculine, had some muscle development. I can do a real push up now. My shoulders look more boney and my waist is longer. My obgyn wouldn't confirm this, but he said my breasts weren't dead and it was okay if my figure was changing. I think he was just sparing my feelings though.

did you have a surgery that affected your hormones? If not, then I don't see how it could change your body into another gender, unless your body is beginning to be depleted of estrogen's, and or other female hormones. Has your Dr tested you for all that and if so, what do they plan to do for you?

I have lost about 200 lbs. in 5 years and think I was going through hormonal changes.... I've read up on it and it seems that it is possible in my case. I think my body was briefly producing too much testosterone right after my surgery and my breasts had already had some atrophy because of my weight ups and downs. This is crazy for me.

ok , so finally i understand the reason this was happening for you, the weight loss. i don't know what surgery you had, maybe it was for weight loss ?
by the way , i am glad you mentioned the shoulders because mine are bony now , that was the first thing that amazed me.........and i had no idea if it is normal or not as i never had bony shoulders and ribs before.

I would think that losing the amount of weight you did would cause the changes you mentioned in your body. Breast size differences are simply a matter of the amount of fat in the breasts, as all women have the same amount of mammary glands. Also, fat produces estrogen, so losing weight will reduce that hormone and maybe others.

Gender identity, I think, is more in the psyche than body. Of course, everyone deals with these things in there own way, so that is a generality.

I didn't have weight loss surgery; I should have never been that heavy, but I was born with tortuous varicose veins that gave me lymphedema. I couldn't get the surgeries I needed because of my weight 5 years ago and my left leg might have been amputated if I hadn't gotten lymphedema therapy and dieted and started biking. I got a bunch of veins removed in a vascular surgery, so maybe more hormones were circulating suddenly and affected me.

I know I sound whiny, but I guess my body hates my guts and wants me to be miserable, lol
