    Expert Answer
    V-necks will be the best thing to make your bust size look smaller. Typically, what makes a bust size bigger is a very high neckline, so avoid turtlenecks and crew necks. Also, look for basic tops made with 1 layer of fabric, which won't add too much volume. If you want to add extra volume to your outfit, add it to the bottom half of your outfit to help offset the top.

    What should I do if I just started puberty and I would like my breasts to be smaller?

    Look into getting a compression-type sports bra to wear under your clothes. Be sure to wear slightly looser, more patterned shirts then you normally wear. Tight T-shirts or tanks will only emphasize your figure.

    Community Answer
    All girls outgrow their bras eventually, and she'll understand. After all, we all grow! Let her know that you've outgrown them and it's time to get some new ones. If you don't feel comfortable getting fitted for a cupped bra, try suggesting a sports bra.

    My breasts are really big (38 DDD), but I want to identify as a male. How can I get them to appear as small as possible?

  • Question
    My mother will never allow me to starve myself, but I don't want boobs. What can I do to get rid of them fast?
    Community Answer
    Don't starve yourself. That is unhealthy for you and will harm you much more than big breasts do. Try to just settle for a baggy shirt and be confident in your body shape. If that doesn't work, make something else your focal point: go crazy and dye your hair bright pink.
  • Question
    I'm 16, and I don't want the big breasts I have, but I'm scared to ask my mom to get them reduced. What should I do?
    Community Answer
    Try exercising, eating well, and wearing a compression-type bra. Doctors say one should wait until the breasts have stopped growing to get breast reduction surgery, which is usually about age 18 to 21. Any younger and you risk having them grow back. Be patient.

  • Question
    Does plastic surgery on breasts hurt?
    Community Answer
    All surgeries are painful (not the surgery itself, for which you will be under anesthesia, but the recovery period afterwards). If you're thinking about a breast reduction because of back pain or some other health reason, talk it over with your doctor to determine if it's the right choice for you. If you're thinking about enlarging your breasts, I don't recommend it.
