No matter how you lose weight, if you are on a weight loss journey, your breast size and shape can also be affected. Breasts are composed primarily of fatty tissue, and weight loss often results in losing breast volume as well.
Semaglutide weight loss drugs have recently seen a spike in popularity, and some patients taking these drugs have noted the phenomenon of 'semaglutide breasts' or 'ozempic breasts'. If you undergo rapid weight loss, your breasts may also lose density. This can lead to a lower breast volume and decrease in fatty breast tissue.1
Regardless of how you undergo weight loss, if you’ve recently lost weight chances are your breast size and shape has also changed. In this article we’ll go through how weight loss can affect your breasts and how to adjust your bra size and style accordingly.
How Does Semaglutide Weight Loss Affect Breast Size?
If you have recently lost weight, chances are your breasts have also changed. Breasts are made up of fatty tissue and are affected by weight loss like any other area of the body. Rapid weight loss due to semaglutide drugs can make changes to your breasts even more apparent.
Adjust Your Bra Size Accordingly
We recommend taking your bust and band measurements regularly to ensure that your bra size is accurate. Weight loss affects the entire body, and breasts are no exception.
Rapid fat loss can mean that both your band size and cup size have changed. Use our Bra Size Calculator to determine your best fit. Simply take your bust and band measurements and plug them into the calculator – we’ll do the rest.Weight Loss and Breast Size
Some patients taking semaglutide weight loss drugs have noted the occurrence of 'semaglutide breasts' or 'ozempic breasts'. If you undergo rapid weight loss, your breasts may also lose fat, density, and volume rapidly. This can lead to a lower breast volume and decrease in fatty breast tissue.2
Finding the Right Bra Style for You
In addition to bra size fluctuations, you may find that losing weight affects your bra style preferences. Maybe you went down three or four cup sizes, and the bra styles that you used to reach for no longer seem like a good fit. You may want more or less support, or find other bra features more comfortable or appealing.
Not every bra style will work for every woman, and a bra style that used to be your go-to might no longer be comfortable. We recommend trying on an array of bra styles to see what works best for you.
Concluding Thoughts
Ozempic breasts or semaglutide breasts can be a real occurrence for women taking weight loss drugs. If you are using a semaglutide drug, you may even experience sagging skin or sagging breasts after rapid fat loss. Breasts are made primarily of fat tissue, which naturally will decrease with weight loss. We always recommend remeasuring your bra size regularly to ensure that your bra provides the everyday comfort and support you need.
