Breasts are a popular topic here on the blog. And no wonder! There’s nothing more feminine than the female bosom.
Obtaining feminine curves, particularly breasts, is a major goal for many transgender women and crossdressers.
While breast forms or padded bras provide a temporary solution, having your own feminine breasts can be a vital step in the male to female journey.
The good news is that there are many ways to reach this goal!
That’s why in this blog post, I offer an overview of the most popular MFT breast enlargement methods, including pros and cons of each. Read on to learn more!
Transgender Hormone Therapy
If you are a trans woman planning a full transition, then gender affirming hormone therapy (also known as transgender hormone replacement therapy or HRT) is the best place to begin your breast enlargement journey.
While hormone therapy can’t undo the effects of puberty, it will cause feminizing changes in the body including changes in hair growth, skin texture, redistribution of body fat, and yes, breast growth.
Breast growth typically begins within 3 months of starting hormones. The breasts experience significant growth in the first 6-12 months. Breast growth typically slows down after that, but the breasts can continue to develop for years.
It’s important to know that your age can significantly impact your results with hormone therapy. Trans women who start hormones at a younger age typically experience more dramatic results than those who start at a later age.
Herbal Pills And Creams
This method can be controversial, and it’s not a replacement for gender affirming hormone therapy for those going through a full transition. That said, herbal pills and creams are used by many early-stage trans women and even crossdressers.
The premise is simple: There are many natural herbs (known as phytoestrogens) that have estrogenic effects, as well as herbs that have anti-androgenic effects.
These herbs have been used by cisgender women for centuries to manage symptoms of PMS, menopause, and other hormonal conditions.
These herbs can also be used to mimic some of the effects of transgender HRT, though obviously the effects will be much weaker.
Personally, I know of many people who have obtained significant breast enlargement using herbal products and were happy with their results. Even so, it’s important to have realistic expectations with this method.
If you’re interested and want to explore this option, I have these recommendations:

- Sublime Bust – A pueraria mirifica-infused breast serum that’s been a bestseller among MTF customers since 2015
Breast Implant Surgery
Hormonal breast enlargement methods, including transgender HRT or phytoestrogenic herbs, can take a lot of time and the results can be somewhat unpredictable.
The most reliable way to obtain the exact breast size and shape you desire is through breast augmentation surgery. This can be a very satisfying surgery if you take the time to find a good doctor and thoroughly research the procedure.
I recommend checking out this guide to breast augmentation to learn more about the surgery. It covers the costs, risks to consider, and differences between the various types of breast implants.
Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
Did you know that breast implants aren’t the only surgical option for increasing your breast size? Fat transfer breast augmentation uses your body’s own natural fat to increase your breast size.
The advantage of this technique is that the results typically look more natural than breast implants. The downside is that it can only increase the breasts 1-2 cup sizes. You also have to have enough excess fat on your body that can be transferred to the breasts, so this is not a good option for very thin people.

Breast Enlargement Pump
Turning our attention back to non-surgical methods, a final option to consider is using a breast enlargement pump.
While this might sound like a gimmick, there is some actual science to back it up. Breast enlargement pumps stimulate breast growth through tissue expansion.
Studies show that applying tension to an area leads to tissue growth. Surgeons use this technique (known as “tissue expansion”) to regenerate skin, bones and other tissues. Applying vacuum pressure to your breasts can also stimulate real growth over the long run.
A medical grade breast enlargement pump called the Brava was developed by plastic surgeon Roger K. Khouri, MD. Currently, the Brava is used by some plastic surgeons to enhance the results of fat transfer to the breasts.
While the Brava is only available through plastic surgeons, there are other breast enlargement pumps on the market.
One popular option is The Noogleberry Breast Enlargement System, which starts at $60. This device is meant to be used for 30 mins to 1 hour per day and can be used alone or to enhance the results of herbs or hormone therapy.
An added bonus of using a breast enlargement pump like the Noogleberry is that it can give you an instant size boost by increasing blood flow to the breasts. This swelling only lasts a few hours, but you can enjoy the results in the meantime!

Warning! Avoid Silicone Breast Injections
Now that we’ve covered 5 options for MTF breast enlargement, let’s talk about one that you absolutely need to avoid and that’s illicit silicone breast injections.
Silicone injections are banned in the U.S. and most countries, however, they are still used in some countries or performed under the table by unqualified injectors.
Injectable silicone is different from FDA-approved silicone breast implants. Silicone implants keep the silicone contained within the breast implant, preventing it from migrating within the body.
Silicone gel injections, on the other hand, can cause serious injury, disfigurement or even death as the silicone migrates. These injections must be avoided at all costs.
Let’s talk about breasts!
As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts on this hot topic.

I thought that was extremeley fascinating. Many thanks to the unusual information. I’ll maintain next this….
what health issues are with growing my breast and trying to lactate…been taking female hormones to lactate…they are starting to do the job…I’am concerned with male testertrone return when I’am done nurseing…
Dear Lucille. Thank you. I have used herbs and massage off and on and have seen wonderful results. I am no longer an A however not.a B. I did add two inches to my chest. I am going to now make the commitment to do this everyday and let my female side out. I am a male.
Hi Lucille,
I’ve been using Noogleberry for the last 3 years. I’m having so much surprising success with their XXL domes, I feel that they’re getting bigger, due to the sport bra I have on and the cleavage I created on the right.
What I use to enhance my results is wild yam cream because it holds the suction and expands my boobs better…
So there you have it! Enjoy! MUAH!

When is the best time to use a pump, before, after or in between massaging?
A little about myself and my thoughts on breast pumping. In 2001, I started on a self medicated hormone treatment program (oral only). Not the best idea, but I kept the meds low dosage. After 18 months, I just couldn’t afford the meds, besides the fact that my shipment could be seized by Customs at any time, so I stopped. I had done a LOT of research and saw Lucille Sorella’s Flat to Fem Program several years later and had even ordered it. It wasn’t until the first of this year (2010) that I decided to finally follow it. The herbs that she recommends cost me $50 per month versus the $100’s that I was spending before. Plus I can pretty much get them at the local drug store or order them online without Customs seizing my order! I won’t tell you that I have gone from an “A” cup before to a “C” cup in four months (and seldom believe the people that DO claim results like that!), but I will say that I am satisfied with the results I have so far! Pictures don’t always show the results but I just LOVE the fullness and “jiggle” that I now have! I think that my breasts are starting to fill out and become more defined. And that is what I was looking for… As far as breast pumping, I have done it off and on over the years. Since I’m too lazy to do the Chi massages that Lucille recommends, I thought it wouldn’t hurt! I haven’t done it on a consistant basis, so I can’t tell you that “yes, it works”. I guess everyone’s results vary! Just remember that you don’t have to spend big money on a breast pump. I built my own breast pumps. I bought the single breast pump from an adult web site and then bought another so I could pump both breasts at once. Too bad I didn’t buy them at the same time… it would have been cheaper! All it took was a “T” connector to attach the two cups to one pump. I took an old bra and put the cups in them, then cut a small hole in the bra cup to run the vacuum line through. I would put the bra on, position the cups and pump away. They only thing was, the plastic cups cracked and didn’t last long. I solved that by getting two “tupperware” type plastic bowls that have lasted much longer and still do the same thing. It just goes to prove that you don’t have to spend a lot, just be smart…

Aw, the link no longer works ☹️
Hi Lucille,
I have used breast pumps along with supplements and massage to increase my breast size. One of the girls mentioned worrying about the top part of her breasts being disproportionate from using pumps. I like to move the pumps around to get more even breast growth. The use of all of these techniques has resulted in some nice changes in the size and shape of my breasts.

I built my breast pump and it works as well as the more expensive ones on the market. I used a brake bleeder hand pumps type a funnel and a length of tubing it nay not be pretty but it works. Guess you could use different size funnels depending on how big you are or want to be. I was flat chested and with the use of Spirolaction for high blood pressure and the hand made pump I am showing some result but hoping to get bigger
