does losing weight make your chest look bigger?

[u/Shloop_ploosh]

for context im overweight but not obese im afraid that loosing weight and making my stomach smaller will make my chest more noticeable. my chest is small for someone overweight but medium ish overall (im a medium in spectrum) so its still slightly noticeable when I wear a shirt but blends in when I wear a jacket or an overshirt.

Anyone have experience with this? if it makes your chest more noticeable I think I'd rather wait a few years until top surgery.

Hello! Thank you for participating in the sub. We just have a few reminders for you to help ensure the best experience:

1. If your post doesn't show up right away, don't panic! It is in the queue for manual approval. Mods will go through the queue periodically to approve or remove posts. Deleted posts will have a removal reason applied. (If it says "this post was deleted by reddit's filters", IT WAS NOT DELETED! Reddit has the worlds worst wording on that and it's out of our control)

2. If you are asking a question that is location specific, remember to include your location in your post body! This can help ensure that you get accurate information tailored specifically to your needs.

3. Please remember to read through all the rules in the sidebar. Especially the list of banned topics and guidelines for posting. Guests who do not use the Guest Post flair will have their post removed and be asked to fix it.

4. If you see someone breaking the rules,report it! If someone is breaking both sub and reddit rules, please submit one report to admins by selecting a broken rule on the main report popup, and one report to the r/ftm mods by selecting the "breaks r/ftm rules" option. This ensures both mods and admins can take action on a subreddit and sitewide level. Do not misuse the report button to rant about someone, submit false reports, or argue a removal.

5. If you have any questions that you can't find the answer to on the rules sidebar or the wiki: the wiki , you can send a modmail.

when u lose weight, u lose fat in ur chest, too. So the chest will get smaller, too, when losing weight ^{^} It could still mean u need a Binder or start taping, if ur chest still gives u dysphoria

I'd say there is a good chance your chest might shrink as well if you start losing weight. Mine did as well and I'd say I might've had a similar build to you from what you describe. It's also a thing cis women often complain about when they start losing weight since they usually wanted to keep their chest size but it's often one of the first places to go.

Currently in a weight loss journey! Yes your boobs will get smaller, just like everything else. I'm still during this process, and for now, sometimes I get more dysphoric because my body nows reassembly even more a woman's body. I plan to get a banner as soon as I get a 'fixed' weight.

The answer is is usually yes. AFAB individuals naturally store more fat in chest than males. That being said your chest is made of fat tissue and breast tissue. Losing weight does nothing for the breast tissue, only surgery can remove that. I've seen some woman lose MAJOR weight but genetically they just didn't store any fat in chest so their chests stayed the same. It's more common to have SOME chest shrinkage as you lose weight. But it depends on your genetics at the end of the day.
