No, nothing you can do to your breasts short of surgery will make them either grow or shrink. I should know, I always wear a sports bra to bed-more comfortable that way :-). Lx.

TheOldOne answered Thursday September 8 2005, 1:01 pm: Short answer: no. There might be some temporary compression, but breasts are primarily fat tissue, and fat tissue can't be shrunk or eliminated by pressure. If it could, every fat person would be wearing a full-body girdle. :D
There is one possible circumstance that could have that effect: wearing an EXTREMELY tight bra (or binding) almost continually throughout puberty. This would probably cause severe underdevelopment, the same way that foot-binding in ancient China caused stunted and malformed feet. [ TheOldOne's advice column | Ask TheOldOne A Question ]
