Is your backfat really migrated breast tissue?

In to learn about migration.

National geographic has some great show on it...

I think the only thing I can "agree" with in this post is that a lot of women are wearing the wrong size bra.

Knock it all ya want, SOME back fat CAN be breast tissue. I was an enormous cup size for years, and even had to special order my bras through catalogs. To save money, I frequently bought less-expensive but ill-fitting bras. Because they cut into my breasts, some of my tissue really did migrate to my armpit area and slightly behind that. When I qualified for a breast reduction surgery, my doctors confirmed via ultrasound and biopsy that actual breast tissue "spilled over" into my armpit and upper back area, but the insurance considered removal of that tissue cosmetic (and would not be covered). It's a real thing, folks.

Think of it this way: people who wear corsets for years and years can displace their organs and tissues. Why can't ill-fitting bras do something similar over years and years?

I have heard of this happening, but I think it is not as common as OP is otherwise implying.

My breast tissue migrated to my back causing those ugly back boob rolls.

Then I lost 70 pounds and my boobs migrated back to their appropriate place on my chest.

LMAO!!!

I think OP was talking more about ill- fitting bras pushing fat into different places rather than it actually physically moving around your body. Cheap bras have a lot to answer for. Get yourselves measured ladies! (oYo)

How do I make my belly fat migrate to my boob? That would do me just nicely!

lolwut???

Are people really this gullible? Really?

I'm sorry, but this sounds like a myth. If wearing certain kinds of clothing could make your tissue "migrate" then there would be a whole industry devoted to it instead of a whole industry devoted to shapewear. This sounds like something to make people feel better about their back fat ... which is just that, fat. Yes, wearing an improperly fitting bra will certainly make fat stick out more, just like wearing jeans that are too small will give you a muffin top. Notice that the pictures show just that. A woman wearing the right bra is able to make her boobs stick out more and her fat stick out less. I can also make my fat stick out less by wearing spanx. Doesn't make me any skinnier in the long run.

This is a good point and think its also the main point of this post.

Maybe the "migrate" thing was not meant literally...? . :laugh:
Either way, a proper fitting bra is important and supposedly very uncommon. This is a good reminder to go and get fitted properly. I often think I should... But for some reason put it off. :ohwell:

I've never worn a bra. How did my breast tissue migrate to become back fat?

Lyerin · August 2013

While I agree that many women wear the wrong size bras, and that bra sizing is difficult and inconsistent, at best, across different brands, the idea that "breast tissue" "migrates" to your back to form back fat is laughably ridiculous. Think about what you're saying!! Breast tissue MIGRATES - like it decides that the back would be a much more favorable climate so it packs its bags and heads there??? :laugh:

Poorly fitting bras (and other clothing) can make bulges appear or be more noticeable, but it certainly does not cause "tissue" to migrate.

The areas on your back that stand out, you may call them backfat but did you know it could actually just be your breast tissue that migrated from wearing umcomfy/not great fitting bras? Also its easy to move it back!

I couldn't read any further than this... I don't believe it for a second.

Cait_Sidhe · August 2013

Anyone who says that clothes CANNOT migrate tissue, or there would be an industry devoted to it... are you stupid? Have you ever heard of a corset?

Are you actually aware of what corsets are and how they work? They work by compression. Any effects are short term and your body goes back to normal when the corset comes off. FYI, fat cells are permanently affixed unless the tissue is cut or torn.
