perky boobs with weight loss

Still responding even though I don't meet your criteria. 🤷🏿‍♀️ Please check in with a doctor with your questions and realize genetics play a factor along with weight fluctuations.

Regardless, your body is something to love on no matter what it looks like.

I agree with the premise of building up the chest muscles to make breasts look perkier. (The amount of success of this will depend on genetics.)

Also bear in mind that we are our own worse critic. No one who has seen me naked has remarked that one breast is perkier than the other, which I see in the mirror but apparently no one else does.

Boobs. Do you wish yours were bigger? Perkier? Firmer?

While the only sure-fire way to make this happen is to go under the knife — or invest in a seriously good push-up bra — you can strength train your chest muscles to increase their mass, which will in turn make your whole chest look fuller.

Below, we’ve curated 13 chest exercises done with and without equipment to firm up your pectorals and help your top half appear perkier. Try a combination of these a few times a week to feel more va-va-voluptuous than ever before.

OP--perkiness also depends on size. It's easier to be perky at a smaller size. Swimming is very good exercise for breasts.

Yeah they were perky when small, saggy when big. I just hope they’ll somehow bounce back, otherwise I’ll literally die

Nope--you won't. You'll do what all women do, try to better your situation as best you can. Someone will love you for who you are--not what you're packin'.

How’s your posture?

Weightlifting has helped my posture, weight loss has helped my confidence. Both have helped my boobs.

Boobs are a strange thing. We tend to get all wrapped up in them. After seeing my best, well developed, friend get “felt up” in sixth grade, I was horrified when mine came in huge, too, and developed a hunch trying to hide them, which was impossible. It’s taken me a lifetime- and a large reduction- to be able to say that I no longer think about them 24/7.

When we allow ourselves to obsess over the scale, stomach, bat wings, boobs or whatever part of our body we identify as “us”, we forget there’s hundreds of other square inches of body real estate that are just fine. It can very literally suck the joy out of life. If I could give you the gift to overlook them, I certainly would.

Letting it go has been one of the most liberating things in my life.

This whole process of turning into an adult woman can be really confusing and overwhelming, and it happens at a time when we're not necessarily at a point in self-confidence to comfortably ride those waves of change. (We tend to see ourselves much more critically than other people ever would.) Hang in there, it gets better - much better.

As others have said, the best course is to value and love the body you have, because it can do many wonderful things. Really, what would you do without a body? Life would be pretty dull without one. 😉

For now, focus your efforts on investing in yourself in various ways.

Since you're very stressed about your breasts right now, adopting a good strength training routine is a really good idea. Though progress from strength training is gradual - takes patience - at 18 you're at the *perfect* age to make progress faster than will be possible later in life. Do it now, establish a good workout routine, and you'll be the best possible toned, smokin' *you* in months to a small number of years. You'll also be *strong*, which helps with self-confidence. So very worth it!

The posture work will also help, for sure. Beyond those obvious self-investments, here's one that's a quickie: Save your pennies, go to a specialty shop in person (when it's safe/possible to do that pandemic-wise), and be fitted for a *really good* bra by a professional fitter. Plan to buy a couple, and they won't be cheap. After you figure out what size/brand/type is best for you, you may be able to find savings on extras online. But buy the first ones at the place where the fitter spent time with you, because that higher price covers that *so valuable* service.

Truth in advertising: Not only am I old, but I don't even have breasts. Yes, I'm female, but I had breast cancer, and chose not to have breast reconstruction. I didn't die from the breast cancer (that was just luck, and good doctors), and I haven't died from my appearance. (I love being alive, and I love the body that moves me through great experiences, every. single. day. And I still invest in improving myself, physically and otherwise, because that's fun as well as deeply rewarding.)

Your appearance is not your value as a human. You can work (hard, patiently) and improve your appearance, and you can do things to increase your self-confidence (accomplish stuff!) and even maximize your value as a human (learn, grow, contribute, connect, and more).

You're just starting out. There's lots of good stuff ahead, decades of good stuff. Don't let breasts be an obstacle to any of that, ever.

Like others have said, this is one of those things that comes with age and wisdom (hopefully), where you start to accept your body and self-perceived flaws that are resistant to change, no matter what.

I was a bit of a chubby kid and teenager, then lost weight (then regained, etc.). I remember in my early 20's being so concerned with my "saggy" boobs that I actually bought a cream and contemplated augmentation....not to add size, but to lift them up. That's how dissatisfied I was with them. Like someone else said, not one man said anything about them and seemed to enjoy them .

Now at 44, I either don't care really about them (and I've also been married for 12+ years), or they are perkier. I've had 2 babies, too, and pregnancy will definitely change them. Having said that, I do think weight lifting does help to perk them up, as well as being more conscious overall of my posture (more so for my back/shoulder issues than anything else). However, when I strength train, I REALLY try to focus on what it does for me physically and challenging myself, and the appearance gains as the side benefit. There are actually some great female personal trainers who ascribe to this belief that I'd highly recommend looking into --Nia Shanks is one that comes to mind.

You're young, and honestly your brain is about 7 years from being full developed (full brain maturation happens around age 25). Take it from all of us older ladies to focus more on your positives, and accept the self-perceived stubborn body flaws...chances are, you're by far your harshest critic and others don't even really notice.

I've found my breasts feel perkier after massage. Bonus points if I get my husband to do it.

Somewhere, there'll be a woman wishing she had a figure like mine, whilst I want that perfect body over there. And the person in that perfect body will have her own hang ups, and so on.

I think as we get older, the importance we place on those parts of us we're less keen on fades, and even if we don't learn to love every inch of ourselves, we can accept it or change it. What I want now is that strong, invincible feeling I used to have; it's a feeling, not an appearance.

Apparently mine were mostly fat. As soon as I lost weight, they went along with it. I have a strong chest and visible pec definition, but I also am deflated and sagging. Pumping up my pecs does nothing because the pecs are above the sagginess.

Same! But... I do love seeing the muscles when I take off my bra and those pesky things get out of the way. Hahaha

I really think it all comes down to genetics because that determines how dense your breast tissue is, which determines how much they fluctuate with weight gain/loss. When I get my yearly mammogram I’m always told I have very dense breast tissue. Mine haven’t budged an inch since I was 15 and have remained just as voluminous through pregnancy, 2 years of breastfeeding, 43 lbs of weight loss and now well into middle age and peri menopause at age 46. Countless times others assured me they’d deflate through all those events but it never happened, they just remained exactly the same. Bodies are gonna do what bodies are gonna do. Don’t stress too much about it since you cannot control where your body takes off/puts on fat. What you can control is getting to a healthy weight overall. IMHO the most you can do is wear nice supportive bras, care for your skin and work on your posture which can make a world of difference not just for your chest but for your entire body, it certainly has for me. Best of luck to you!
