Hormone Replacement Therapy for Trans Women
Besides the actual physical size of the breast, perception must be taken into consideration as well. The fact that the rib cage for the average anatomical male after puberty is bigger then it is for females means if you visually compare the two people with similar height, weight and bra size; one cissexual and one transsexual, the cissexual woman’s breasts will generally appear larger. Also remember breast size in cissexual women varies greatly and not all cis woman have large breasts. I have small breasts and well… I like them.
I have also written a few posts about hormone therapy and the risks associated with it as well. PLEASE READ THESE! I get a lot of questions and comments about self medicating and I tell my readers over and over not to. These medications are dangerous! The point is not to scare you about self-treatment, but to raise awareness about the seriousness of pharmaceuticals of any kind not prescribed.
Some other things I want to point out and stress:
- Breast development takes time. Hormone therapy induces puberty and just like with cissexual women puberty is a process that takes years, not months. It is certainly not something that happens over night.
- Taking more estrogen than is proscribed will not speed up the process. This is VERY DANGEROUS! You will need your blood work checked for possible problems. Like I said, I have written am entire article about the risks associated with HRT but a few of the major ones include: blood clots, prolactinoma (tumor of the pituitary gland), and possible increased risk of heart attack and stroke. There are also major risks with taking Spironolactone as it is a diuretic. Bottom line, talk to your doctor.
- Most women have uneven breast development, it is normal. Also, your breasts may not develop at the same rate. While this unevenness is usually not drastic it can be noticeable. For me my left breast is probably a full cup size bigger than my right. Expect it and don’t freak out.
- HRT does not only effect breast growth!
This last point is important to realize because I get a lot of questions from cross dressers and non-transsexual types who just want to take hormones to grow breasts. This is probably not an option. Hormones effect your entire body, you physical appearance, your mood, and most importantly you body chemistry. If your motivation is to simply grow breasts than I strongly caution you NOT to use hormones. Also, if you are think that want to have breasts to increase sexual pleasure, one of the side effects of HRT is decreased libido.
Lastly, you can’t just put on a shirt and hide these things… Remember, HRT causes irreversible full body changes, not simply breast growth. If you still think this is right for you I will offer the same advice I offer everyone, please talk to your doctor.
Breast Augmentation Surgery
Once development slows or stops some people may still desire breast augmentation surgery. The thing to know about this is that it is generally a good idea to put off any augmentation surgery until after hormone induced breast development is completed. There are quite a few reasons for this but here are the most important:
- Breast development happens in spurts over a course of years! Give them a chance to grow.
- Breast development does not happen evenly… One breast may seem way smaller and but given time, it probably will catch up. Note that uneven breast size is normal, even in cissexual women.
- Breasts implants look best and most realistic when they are placed behind existing breast tissue.
- If augmentation is preformed before breast development is finished and you have additional breast growth after surgery, you run the risk of very unnatural or even deformed looking breasts.
Lastly, breast augmentation is included in the standards of care for transgender individuals but does not require the same exact criteria as SRS.

Male Breast Enlargement
For years, I have read and seen the advertisements in the mass media about all of the penis enhancement pills and thought that they were all scams or gimmicks. All of the medical sites that I have visited stated that none of the herbal supplements would ever help increase the size of a penis. I got very depressed when I read this, because unfortunately I was not naturally blessed with a penis that was big enough to arouse my sexual partner or past partners. I am a man that is past my sexual primetime and my sexual performance has a lot to be desired. I decided to try 3 bottles of MaxSizePenis Pills after all the reading and researching that I have done. Since there is a Money Back Guarantee, what did I have to lose? I couldn't believe the results I was seeing after taking MaxSizePenis. Within about 3 weeks I had a noticeable increase in the girth of my penis. Then after a couple more weeks it started to grow in length and I was amazed and very excited. By the time I finished my third bottle of MaxSizePenis Pills my penis had grown an additional two inches. I've had a considerable improvement with my sex life and these pills are certainly worth every penny I spent on them! I want to thank MaxSizePenis for the time and effort they have spent on helping people in my situation.
