Sometimes: Breasts are composed of 2 things: fat and glandular tissue. If a woman loses weight overall, the amount of fat in her breasts diminishes also, so her breasts can appear/become smaller.

Yes : Losing fat can also happen in your breasts. That is why we require patients to be at their ideal weight before surgery.

Yes: Breast are mostly fat . If a woman loses weight overall, the amount of fat in her breasts diminishes also, so her breasts can appear/become smaller. Very strenuous and prolonged exercise will decrease body fat. Concern over decreased breast size should not hinder a healthy dose of exercise.
