Hi, I’m a 19-year-old female, soon to be 20. Since puberty, my bra size has been 34B. There is nothing physically “wrong” with my breasts, but I am dissatisfied with this size as it makes me feel flat/boyish. My question is, am I too young for a boob job? Is there a chance that my chest would randomly continue developing around, say, 23? I have heard from other women that they’ve experienced a sort of second puberty in their early 20s. If relevant, I am 5’1” & 98 lbs. Thanks in advance!

Answer: Breast development and implants Hello, Typically for most women breast development is occurs during puberty and stops by age 18, however some women do experience changes after this. Most often this is in response to changes in body weight and composition which can also change during the late teens and early 20s. However the breasts do undergo significant changes during pregnancy and following pregnancy as well as menopause. The decision to undergo breast augmentation is a personal one and while I can certainly increase your breast size, the timing of it will depend on what is most important to you. The FDA recommends that patients be 22 years or older for silicone gel implants and 18 years or older for saline implants which is another factor to consider. I'd recommend consulting with a plastic surgeon when you feel ready.

Answer: Too young for a boob job Hello, There isn't a right or wrong age for a breast augmentation. While the FDA only allows silicone to be used in patients 22 years old, you may still get saline implants if you chose to.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Hi & thanks for your question. Twenty is not to young to have a breast augmentation. It would be rare to continue for your breasts to grow into your twenties. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best wishes!
