Does chest press increase breast size?

It’s really your chest size that increases, not the breasts themselves. Remember that breast tissue is mainly fat, and you won’t increase fat by doing chest presses. You will, however, firm up the underlying pectoral muscles, and maybe even build them a little.

Do chest presses lift breasts?

Not directly. That’s because the breast is composed of fatty tissue, not muscle. Therefore, exercise won’t directly change your breast shape. However, exercising your chest muscles (which are underneath your breast) can give the appearance of fuller, perkier breasts.
