I got my period when I was 10 and half years old, and since then my breasts stopped growing, right now I'm 15 and I still have those 10 year old girl's breasts, it's kind of irritating since all my friends have big breasts. Are they going to grow or are they going to stay like this forever? Is there something that I could do to make them grow?
Answer: Have my breasts stopped growing? I'm 15 Thank you for the question.There is no specific age when breast development stops. You will know when you have reached a longer-term size/shape when your breasts have not changed for approximately one year. This age may be 16 for some and 20 for others. Hopefully, you have the support of your parents and your pediatrician, with whom you can discuss your concerns. Generally speaking, best to wait until you are at least 18 years of age before evaluating your breast size and deciding whether the surgery is likely you. Do not waste your time/resources heavily on marketed medications/creams/herbs, that promise breast growth. Best wishes.

Answer: Your Breasts Are Probably Still Developing Thank you for your question. Your breasts probably haven't completely developed yet. It can take into the early 20's for a woman's breast development to conclude. Unfortunately, there aren't good options for you to make your breasts grow.

Answer: Breast Growth Dear ovelya,In general, breasts will stop 'growing' when all other hormone related phenomenon from puberty stop changing. Some women have early puberty and early finishing of these changes, and some women have later and a more prolonged course. However, any changes to hormone levels, such as in pregnancy, nursing, etc. can change breasts, OCP may change growth, certain tumors may affect growth, weight gain will affect size, etc. The breast is composed of the breast gland that grows related to hormone levels of estrogen and prolactin as well as other hormones, but some women's breast tissue have more 'hormone receptors' than other women's and thus are more sensitive to hormone levels. That is why the hormone creams etc do not work on someone who naturally have smaller breasts because they are less sensative to hormones. In addition, the breast is also composed of fat tissue which grows and shrinks with weight gain and loss. So there is no simple answer here. It sounds like you had an early and short puberty and thus it seems unlikely that your breasts will grow. Only time will tell. I would suggest waiting until you are a little older before making any decision about breast augmentation.Best Wishes!Pablo Prichard, MD

Answer: Have my breasts stopped growing? Than you for your question. It is impossible to tell whether or not your breasts have stopped growing. There is still time before you can comfortably say that they have stopped. This is something to discuss with your pediatrician/family doctor. Good luck.

Answer: Breast glands growing in teenagers This is a great question. 3 years after your first period, if you see it regularly every month, then you will see their final size of your developed breast. In your case 5 years passes and They won't grow anymore and then you can go for a breast augmentation with a ASAPS member Plastic Surgeon.
