Is there anyway I can maintain/improve my bust, or will I eventually have to go under the knife?

Hi Holly,

Breast tissue is mostly fat, but unless you lose a real signficant amount of weight, you shouldn't see your breasts disappear. And breast size is somewhat genetic. That being said, if you lose weight, you might notice some decrease in your cup size. However, doing upper chest exercises to build the pectoral muscles that sit under the breasts will help to compensate for some of the loss of breast tissue and should make them a little perkier (sagging is something that I would be more concerned about than cup size, personally) but shouldn't make them disappear.

In my professional opinion, losing a little weight and increasing your muscle tone should not make your breasts disappear. And rather than worry about something that may never happen, embrace all of the wonderful changes you'll see and feel in a healthier and more fit body!

Don't do it! Having incisions in your chest and ramming industrial strength silicone makes for a messed up situation. That's my opinion anyway. I'm sure that you'd find that most guys out there prefer 'natural' to 'fake'. Mammary glands are encouraged by hormones which of course one can help by eating and training healthily. I've always shown that direct stimulation from your partner can also help to increase breast size. There are some scientific papers out there to back up my anecdotal evidence :-) http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00224497409550865
