Reducing breast size

MarieLoms

Didn’t quite mean to make this just about bras.

I have been properly fitted several times in my life and it’s been devastating each time to find how the weight I’ve lost doesn’t change the size. I was hoping for more of you guys to share stories of progress you’ve made and such, which some of you did.

I get it’s genetics and bra fitting. And if that doesn’t work an actual reduction. But for someone like myself, who can’t afford a 10k surgery for reduction nor who has seen any improvement on the breast weight loss since beginning, I was just hoping for some positivity. Not so much “check your bra” considering I’ve worn nothing but sports bras for the past year cause I’m embarrassed about my bust!

I understand I didn’t convey this in the beginning haha! Thanks anyways for you input, I’ll keep working on weight loss/getting more muscle to hopefully help!

Wish you all the best of luck!

I’ve been a Fd/e cup all my life regardless of my weight.... don’t be embarrassed - embrace them. Get a good bra fitting and you will feel very different about how they look.
Or if that doesn’t help then. Good minimizer bra in the right size will also help.
If they are causing physical or psychological issues then can’t the operation be covered my medical insurance? I’d suggest speaking to a doctor - if you haven’t already.
I live in Switzerland where we have compulsory medical insurance and I know it would be covered here.... it would be free in the UK on the NHS- I worked with someone who had the surgery done because she suffered lots of spine problems.
It is important to do exercises to strengthen the chest and back muscles. Always be aware of your posture as the weight in breast tissue can contribute towards lots of problems at a later date.

I went from 75C to 75B (that's European size, in cm. Cup is the same I think)

Good thing you said European.
At first, I was like dear mother of God.. those things have to hurt.

It's fairly small. Though honestly, I don't know what that would be in US sizes. Lets see if I find a converter. Apparently 34C to 34B. I'd prefer a nice, tight A cup though. Oh well.. can't have it all I guess.
