I'm 20 and I am positive my breasts are finished growing. do I have underdeveloped breasts maybe because of a hormone deficiency? I've been taking birth control since I was 15 because I would rarely ever have a period. Could the birth control have caused/covered up an underlying problem? Is there any type of hormone therapy I could undergo to fix my tuberous breasts and finally cause them to develop? if surgery is the only way, will insurance cover it, since it's classified as a congenital deformity?

Answer: Tuberous breasts Tuberous breasts occur for many different reasons and sometimes for no definite reason at all. Hormone deficiency can play a role in underdeveloped breasts, especially lack of estrogen. It might be worthwhile to see your primary care physician to have your hormone levels and other laboratories checked. Sometimes, replacement or augmentation of hormones may help. However, I think to get an appreciable result or change in the size and shape of your breast surgery may be indicated. It really depends on your desired level of change. This is something you should speak about with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area. Good luck.

Answer: Something other than surgery for breast development Opinions vary however we do not find your breast tuberous, just quite small and it is likely that your breast will mature with pregnancy and even support breast feeding. An augmentation is certainly an option. You might also consider the Brava suction system that you can find online as a nonsurgical option. Anomaly? No you are normal. Hormone deficiency? Not likely though ask about it at your OB.
