Default Breast reduction through diet and exercise?

Hello,
Do you know of a diet and/or exercise regimen that might result in
reducing breast size in a woman who's 25, has always been thin no
matter what she ate (approx. 5'4" 100-105 lbs.) but has always had
relatively large breasts? This is probably her last hope before a
breast reduction surgery.
Thank you.
Ann

There is no such thing - while you can tone your chest muscles, there is
nothing, short of losing overall fat, that shrinks a particular area.

Ann:

Diet is the only thing that will reduce their size a bit. (Although, I
think it is a silly thing to fret about unless there are medical
complications.) I really don't see why women obsess over them either way.
They are a turn on for most men regardless of size, but the biggest turn on
for men is a women that loves them and wants them. (Note, I said men, not
boys.)

If this woman is a candidate for breast reduction surgery (that is, if
a reputable doctor would operate on her), she probably has heavy
enough breasts to cause her significant discomfort. At 5'4" and
100-105 lbs., this woman is extremely slight. Large breasts might
well be placing a strain on her back, for example.

And to Ann: It's unlikely that diet or exercise would help in this
case. This woman clearly has very low bodyfat. The only way to
reduce breast size is overall weight loss, and it won't come only from
the breasts. And weight loss wouldn't be a good idea for someone this
light.

Within limits, the question isn't what you're carrying; it's how
you're carrying it.

Back pain is often caused by having insufficient strength in your
abdominal muscles -- the transversus abdominus and the obliques. Most
aerobic classes emphasize the rectus abdominus -- a muscle that has
far little impact on alleviating back pain. Pilates is the one thing I
know which is most effective at developing these and other postural
muscles.

I suggest having a look at _The Pilates Promise_ at your local
bookstore and look at the before/after pictures after the 3 women
worked with the instructor for 10 weeks. While none of them have
comparable measurements to the OP's friend, you can definitely get a
good sense what's available.

Any surgery carries risk; I strongly recommend trying Pilates before
seriously considering such an option.

If you're 5'4" and 105 lbs. or less, your bodyfat percentage is probably
pretty low already. I know of one woman who had the surgery and was
pleased with the results. Having your bodyfat percentage checked is
probably a good idea, though.

I don't know if you are in a position to have children, but if you ever are,
nurse your child/children as long as possible. Like you, I hated my big
breasts because I was so active and they were an annoyance (running with
them was not comforable). I nursed 4 children, each for a minimum of 14
months, one until she was 3. The end result is great--smaller breasts
without breast reduction surgery and 4 healthy kids!
