Women often come across unsolicited advice about their bodies. Even our breasts aren’t spared. According to many people, online articles, as well as social media posts, eating certain food items, massaging the breasts, or applying lotions or gels to them might change their size. However, no medical evidence supports any of these claims.
Contrarily, experts say that changing one's breast size is quite unlikely. “It’s highly unlikely that you’ll be able to alter the shape of your breasts naturally,” according to a report by Healthline.
The only way to change their size is through surgery. Gaining or losing weight can also affect your breast size.
Breast Reduction Surgery
Breast reduction surgery, which is also called reduction mammaplasty, is a type of invasive procedure. It involves cuts in the skin that can decrease the weight and size of breasts. If chosen for cosmetic purposes, the surgery may also lessen sagging.
It can also lift nipples and result in a breast mound higher, according to Healthline.
Breast augmentation Surgery
Breast augmentation, also called augmentation mammoplasty is a surgical procedure used to increase the size, shape, or fullness of the breasts.

Normal Breast Size
Everybody has different breast sizes. Some women may have extremely little breasts, while others may have regular-sized breasts, and some others may have quite large breasts. Their shape and size may also change throughout their life.
According to Self, breasts start growing in the womb with the development of your milk-duct system. When puberty hits, breast size usually changes due to the increase in oestrogen level. This generally results in the size of the breast, areola, and nipple size growing larger. However, it is likely that your breast size will continue to change throughout your life.
But there is no perfect breast size. All breast sizes are absolutely normal and there is no such thing as abnormal breast size.
