Breast Size?

[communityhead]

Breast size can vary from person to person although several deciding factors are usually the amount of breast tissue, body fat percentage, heredity and if you have been pregnant. After our breasts enlarge due to pregnancy they usually shrink postpartumly, called involution. Other changes result from having breastfed, estrogen and progesterone supplementation in the form or shots, implants or medications, hormonal disorders, menopause and lastly age. As we age our skin thins, we lose breast volume due to the shrinking of our lobules due to a decrease in hormones. We also lose body fat in areas where we want it, and seem to somehow selectively gain it where we do not.

I always thought pregnancy increased breast size, but I guess that's only during the pregnancy. Thanks for the information!

I am actually expecting baby by Feb and my breast size is increased. I thought it might remain the same ever and is difficult to get back to my own self, but reading this is good. Thank you for the information.

I don't think my breasts got that much smaller after pregnancy. I am certainly bustier than I was before I went through two pregnancies.

A lot of women don't lose very much of that breast material at all after birth. Some of that is due to the overall weight gain that doesn't decrease, though.
