I'm 18 I know that's about the time when breasts stop growing. I started my period around the time I was about 11 and I have only grown height wise a few inches since then I'm 5'6, 150lbs. I have a left breast of barely 34B fills a 34A and a right breast of 34AA they haven't grown since I was 13. I was wondering if my right breast would still be growing or should I consult a surgeon? I talked to my doctor last year and she said to not be alarmed and wait. I recently started taking birth control.
Answer: Breast assymetry is not uncommon Breast asymmetry is not uncommon. At 18 years of age it is unlikely your breasts will continue to grow. Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for an in person evalutation.

Answer: Breasts augmentation Dear Shire, In theory, the breasts can keep growing up to age 22 or 24. However, since your breasts did not change in the last 5 years, we can safely assume that they will not grow further at this stage. So, if you want to enlarge your breasts and correct your asymmetry , that can be done easily with breasts implants. 34 full C cup size is natural, faminine and very attractive. Different implant volume in each breast will correct the assymetry. Breasts augmentation with implants is very satisfying for women and increases noticably their confidence and self esteem. To become symmetric 34 full C cup, you will need implant with a volume of 375 cc on the left side and 450 cc on the right side. Always, consult with board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive. Check also the 'realself' reviews for positive patients experience which proveds important information on the surgeons. Best of luck, Dr Widder

Answer: Breast Growth When breasts stop growing is variable, and to some extent they continue to change as we age. If your breast size has been stable for several years, they have probably stopped growing. Weight changes, pregnancy and menopause can all cause breast size to vary.It is never too early to consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. At a minimum they can go over your options, and you can decide what, if anything to do at this time. I have followed several patients through breast development, and intervened when deemed mutually appropriate with good improvement.I've included a link to my blog with some articles about breast asymmetry, breast augmentation and breast lifts, and more information is available on my other websites.

Answer: Breast asymmetry Some women have asymmetric breasts and you should see a plastic surgeon to evaluate your anatomy. If your breasts have not changed in size, they are likely matured and you can consider a breast augmentation with different implants to achieve symmetry.

Answer: Breast Growth cessation It sounds like you have probably reached breast maturity especially if you have noticed no growth over the past 2 years. Growth should be minimal if any at your age and the difference of your breast shape should not change either. I think if you are interested in augmentation both to enlarge and make breast more similar then it is time for you to seek out a board certified PS to help achieve your goals. They will be able to discuss uneven breast and what we can do to make them more similar such as using different size implants. Also the types of implants available to you at 18 yo which is saline only in my office and most PSs. You might choose to wait a few years to be able to have silicon implants as you have smaller breast that might show more ripples with saline implants.
