Do breasts shrink during weight loss?

When you lose weight, you can expect your breasts to really get smaller too. Breasts are actually made up of fibroglandular tissue and fat, but the amount of fat varies from woman to woman.

Some women's breasts contain only 25 percent fibroglandular tissue and 75 percent fat. Also, the breast mass in some women is denser for a total of 25 percent of fatty tissue.

The rate at which you lose weight does not affect the elasticity (or sagging) of your skin, including your breasts. But for their strength, keep your weight under control, exercise your chest muscles, sleep in an upright position.


Fibroglandular tissues, in the first place, consist of mammary glands and connective tissues and create the density of the nipples, Telegrafi reports.

"During the slimming process, we always recommend weight loss exercises. Cardio training helps burn fat, but strength training helps speed up metabolism. "If you lose weight, your metabolism goes down, but building muscle will help you get it back," says Dr. Angela Fich, nutritionist.

If you are among the first, then slimming can have a big impact on breast reduction, while if you are among the latter, then slimming will not have a significant impact.

How much your chest will decrease after slimming depends on how your body loses fat, but you must be aware that localized slimming does not work, that is, it is not possible to lose weight everywhere, except in the chest.

As experts say, the loss of kilograms eventually affects the chest, but it depends on how much, while doctor Fich has found that the loss of volume in the upper part of the body is inevitable.

- Breast volume is not lost first, but where there is more excess. You might feel like all the weight you've lost has come straight off your chest, but that's probably not the case, she says.

For this reason, the way the chest is positioned, their change is more visible, so it is completely logical that you will first notice the reduction of the chest, rather than the reduction of the back or hamstrings. /Telegraph/
