When you are faced with pockets of fat on the side of your breast that seem to get in the way and make you look a lot wider than you actually are, your first port of call is to find a good fitting bra.

The good news is that this “fat” is just breast tissue that has been forced to the side by a misplaced wire or a cup that is way too small. Breast tissue is fat that can be easily manipulated over time as it is not really governed by any muscle. Repeatedly wearing a wire that is “cutting” into this fat will only cause it to separate and as our breasts naturally fall to the side, the tissue migration is inevitable. When you wear a wire that lines up with your armpit it will allow all the side tissue to fall into the cup and not be forced to sit outside the cup and create the unsightly bulge.

(The picture shows the lady wearing a bra that has been fitted correctly and then her old bra over. The black bra shows how misplaced the wire was exposing the "side breast") 

This is very common and most women see a drastic change in body shape when this tissue is scooped into a cup that is the correct size. This may seem easy to do but if you do not have a band snug enough your breast tissue will only fall back into its natural place (under your arm) despite the increase in cup size. It is so important to have a professional fitting where a trained fitter can assess this for you.

To see if your wire is placed in the correct place:

1. Put your best fitting bra on
2. Put your arms out to the side
3. Your wire should follow the under “smile” of your breast
4. When you place your arms out to the side your bra should not move
5. There is not gap under your breast
6. The end of the wire on the arm side should be in line with your armpit

If your side is correct the side breast should disappear however there are certain styles that work so well for this. The side support bra works well as it flattens this and creates a forward projection creating a leaner silhouette.
