Hello, I'm fifteen and I'm wondering if there's any way to prevent breasts growing any bigger. Yeah, I know that I'm in my rapid growth state and all, but there might be exercises to prevent this, right? My mom told me if I get into a specific sport, that'll be able to help prevent breast growth.

Answer: Undesired Breast Growth In Teenagers. Thank you for your question. Breast growth during puberty is caused by normal stimulation from hormones which spike during this time. As those hormones stabilize breast size also tends to stabilize. Exceptions to this normal trend include weight gain, hormonal sensitivity and pregnancy. Weight gain can cause undesired breast enlargement and exercise and diet can help to address this issue. Hormonal sensitivity of the breast tissue can cause breast enlargement that causes back and neck pain. In certain patients and situations there are medications that can help to block the effect of the hormones, but there are side effects. Definitive,treatment of this condition is usually a breast reduction. Pregnancy can also cause breast enlargement that tends to subside once the hormonal stimulation and breast feeding ends. Discuss your concerns further with your parents and consider a consultation with your pediatrician or a plastic surgeon . Best wishes.

Answer: Exercise May Not Do the Trick If you are of normal weight, exercise will not help you reduce your breast size or prevent it from growing bigger. For a permanent solution, breast reduction surgery is the only answer, although it involves a rather strict patient selection to minimize risk of complications. Breast reduction is best performed on someone whose breast development has stabilized. However, it could be performed earlier than ideal if it is causing severe physical discomfort, chronic back pain, rounded shoulders, and other untoward side effects of overlarge, heavy breasts.
