    Will this be like viagra? Where it starts off with one purpose but the main side effects end up as the desired ones?

      Occurrence is too low. One day their will be a way to inject a boob growth drug, among other “enhancements”.

      If that comes first or “bespoke babies” with gene editing comes first is a coin toss.

      One day small boobs will be uncommon and I find that unfortunate.

        I doubt that. There are both men and women who prefer small.

        What might happen, is that whatever cultural ideal becomes contemporary, is also what most people will opt for, but that won’t mean people on the fringes of the bell curve stop existing.

        I find it more likely that if big breasts become “easy” to get, the ideal will simply shift to something else, as the rarity is part of the appeal.

        If a trait becomes common, at least some portion of people lose interest.

          Extreme back pain and problems with too big boobs. In the EU the cirurgic reduction of too big boobs is paid by the insurance, precisely to avoid bigger costs due problems caused by heavy weight boobs. Poor woman in the US there they have to pay the costs for the reduction, so they stay as TV Freaks smashing cans and melons to gain some money. Mental problems apart, which woman want such boobs?

            A friend of mine has like… HH cups?

            Anyway, there’s training you can do to strengthen the muscles required to carry that amount of bosom. Years ago I found a blogpost of a woman who has a whole family of slim and big breasted women. That blog post was describing the training she and her family did to strengthen those muscles. None of them have back pain, my friend who does that training does not have any back pain either.

              It’s mandatory to train the back, but even so, there are also several other health problems associated to this, apart of spine prolapse, blood circulation, shoulder pain and other. Take 2 full shopping bags over your shoulders and run around with it for a day…

            You know that’s a conservative trying to get fired while wearing prosethics, right?

            He, and it’s definitely a he pretending to be trans so they can sue when they get fired, is literally playing out the Ms. Garrison script from South Park.

        We already have drugs that increase breast size, they just have the primary purpose/drawback of inducing lactation.

      It doesn’t say explicitly that this happened to BOTH boobs. It’s entirely possible that this only happened to one of them.
