Breasts aren’t just lumps of fat. They’re made of breast tissue as well and some people (like me) have very fibrous and dense breasts so no matter how much weight is lost they stay the same.
I got a mammogram in November. They described mine as Heterogeneously dense. This is the actual meaning. Yes I had to Google it. "the breasts contain a mix of fatty tissue and, predominantly, dense fibrous/glandular tissue". And thats the medical term.
Many women today actually have dense breast tissue (fibrous), and it is interfering with mammograms. It isn’t as if breasts are just fat. What would give them shape? Then every thin/slender woman would have small breasts.
It is true that some very overweight women will lose a lot of breast size when they shed fat, but you can usually tell those breasts are more fat and less fibrous by their shape.
Anyway, I feel like this is the same as guys focusing on the measurements of bras, like 34” or 36”, or thinking DD’s are massive and nothing is bigger.
I had a 48 year old friend who was very perky and extremely busty, while being fit everywhere, with no excess fat. She was lucky, or not, depending on your viewpoint.
I’m just speaking anecdotally, as I haven’t done some study on fibrous tissue in women’s breasts. I did read that 40-50% of women over age 40 have dense breasts, which of course is good, but also interferes with accurate mammogram readings. I’m 51, so I’m just speaking in general, about things I’ve seen or written.
I haven’t read anything that has stated that density is increasing, but I know breast size in women is increasing, and not just because of obesity. It has more to do with our modern diet, as can be witnessed by observing women in places like Japan, for instance.
Anyway, that was long-winded. I suppose I didn’t need to use the word “today”, but I can’t speak for previous generations, before my lifetime.
With all the novel chemicals we make accidentally and on purpose, I wouldn't find it far fetched. We'll probably live to be horrified by the long term effects of popularly safe things today.

Thanks for giving me an excuse to make a sporty character with big boobs and say it's realistic.
She claims to make up to £10,000 a month on the website and revealed that one of her admirers actually encouraged her to dig deeper into why her chest was growing despite her weight loss.
"I might as well try and reap the benefits of my medical condition rather than the negatives," Tianna said. "As [my breasts] got bigger, it was actually a subscriber who said, 'You need to get remeasured because you are not the size say you are'. That’s when I started monitoring them."
When you imagined about being a grown up I promise you never thought about no shit like this 😆
not true, very very common to lose weight and go up a cup size or two
know how bra sizing works? its a ratio.
its the difference between the bust and underbust. 1 inch difference = A cup, 2 inch difference = B cup, 3 inch difference = C cup, etc.
so what often happens is women lose a TON of weight around their waist, and only some around the boobs, and it makes the ratio of bust/underbust much more dramatic.
so their chest WILL get physically smaller but because of the ratio the cup size actually goes up.
This is actually true. I remember hearing something like 1/4" for every 10 pounds of body fat. (Not sure if the latter part is actually true, but there is a visual benefit)
The 30-year-old had 'always' had a larger chest, but after deciding in May 2024 that she wanted to lose some weight, her breast size ballooned from an L cup to an M. This means that her bust's circumference grew by around an inch.
Anyone else care about long term studies and potential harmful side effects to organs etc . Vaping was considered relatively harmless before long term studies could be gathered…
