Is your backfat really migrated breast tissue?

    This makes perfect sense, actually. I've always worn well-fitted bras, and my boobs are where they should be, on the front of my body.

    Gonna say yes to the fact that most of us have ill-fitting bras...gonna say no to the fact that it's migrated breast tissues causing back rolls.

    I've just read the associated article and I'm afraid this is just silly. The girl in the video has relatively no fat whatsoever, back or otherwise. The "bend and scoop" method simply takes the top layer of tissue under her arm and forces it forward into her bra, and then her assistant tightens the bra so the tissue will stay put, forcing a little bit of cleavage. That's manually "migrating" tissue into the bra, not the other way around.


    Hey! I learned that trick from a drag queen at a LGBTQ campground! It really works! But if you're really flat chested (like me, or a person born a skinny male), it takes more than a bra to keep that migrated back fat up front. I suggest duct tape.

    Yes, swoop & scoop works well specifically if you have shallow breasts (such as the scenario you've described above)...Sets the breast tissue where it's supposed to be. Just as there are many different body types, there are different breast shapes as well.

    it amazes me that people think that wearing a different bra size changes the actual size of your breasts. :huh: getting properly fitted usually means that the cup of the bra should be bigger and extend farther back into your armpit area, and the band should be shortened/tightened and lowered. people think all the sizes are totally different. they aren't. a 34A is the same number of inches around as a 32B or a 30C. the ratio of cup to band is just different. i can physically wear any of these sizes, but a 30C holds all of my breast tissue correctly with the cups positioned in the right place and the band in the right place. tightening the band and pulling it down lower on your back also makes a huge difference. when you pull down on the back, it makes the front lift up!

    if you go down a band size, you will go up a cup size and vice versa. same number of inches around, just different proportion.

    seriously, as others have said, go get fitted by a place that actually does good work. you will notice a huge difference in how you look. and it's not bringing your back fat to the front. it's wearing a properly fitting garment.

    My research was on cellular adhesion and yes, cells do migrate!

    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.

    Or with years of use (kinda like wearing a bra everyday for 80% of your life), you can mold BONES! Yes, with corseting, the body does return to it's normal shape after a year, but I don't think most women are going to go a year without a bra. While I don't think it's common or "normal" as OP was making it out to be, I do believe it happens, like PP with the breast reduction above.

    Hahaha. This is great. 21 years to "mold bones".

    What is this, ancient Chinese foot binding? At your age, go ahead and give it a shot. Let us all know how that works out for ya.

    truth is most of our boobs are fat anyways and yeah we can also have fat on our backs. I know before I lost my 60lbs my boobs seem to connect to my back fat but they no longer do that since I lost a lot of fat. its not migrated tissue its just fat.

    Unless you have naturally large breasts at a low weight, then it is mostly breast tissue not fat.

    Well I managed to lose my backfat, but my boobs didn't get any bigger, so I guess it wasn't breast tissue returning home. :tongue:

    It's amazing that people will just ignore something and laugh at it when it doesn't fit in their worldview. For women who have large breasts and have been wearing the wrong size for a long time, yes, some of your "back fat" might be migrated breast tissue. Some of it will be back fat.

    The jiggly parts under your arms, where your bra wire is cutting in and not covering ALL your breast tissue? That's what they're talking about. After getting properly fitted, that goes away. Because your breasts aren't being shoved in the wrong direction.

    If the center isn't flat against your chest, you're wearing the wrong size.

    If the band rides up, you're wearing the wrong size.

    Give it a try.

    eta: From personal experience, I can attest that I was wearing a 38DD and always knew it was way off, but didn't know where to get the right size. Properly measured myself at home, fitted into a 32GG. So much difference in my silhouette, in my posture, in how my body looks and how clothes fit in general. I had an intermediate step of 34F as well, but after my tissue migrated and my body got used to the right size, I needed a smaller band after all!

    Just make sure that when you measure, they don't do the Victoria's Secret over-the-chest method. :)
