Why Haven't my Breast Grown?

Thanks for your question...A woman usually fully matures by age 18-20. It is highly unlikely you will have further breast growth. If your breasts are still concerning you, please seek a board certified PS for a consultation.You can learn more on our social media (Instagram and Snapchat): @realdrsix.

Thank you for your question and I'm sorry to hear about your concerns. It's important to know that there are many women who have similar concerns about their breasts.  Later in your 20s I think that it's unlikely that your breasts will grow significantly at this point. Breast augmentation surgery can be an incredible procedure to balance your body and restore confidence. When considering breast augmentation make sure you find a board certified plastic surgeon who will take the time to answer all of your questions and explain all of your options, so that you can decide if breast augmentation is right for you.

Your breasts will have achieved full maturity by 18 - 21 years old. If you are unhappy with your size, for better or worse, there are only two viable options for breast enhancement.
Creams or pills do NOT work. All doctors agree on this.
The only way to enlarge your breasts is through a surgical procedure.
Your two options are a breast augmentation with implants on your own fat transfer. Without going into the pros and cons, one quick thing worth noting is that the fat transfer procedure will likely cost you 2 to 3 times more, depending on how much you need and what your goals are. The reason is that it will take several visits to an operating room to collect the fat and transfer it.
Plastic surgeons welcome non-invasive procedures, and there are new innovations in this field for things like double-chins. Unfortunately, there is no non-invasive option for breast enhancement.
There are benefits and risks to a breast augmentation, like any other surgical procedure. And you also have the alternative of doing nothing, that is, not getting implants or a fat transfer.
As a patient, the best you can do is understand and accept this reality, and make a decision based on that.
The key is to ask yourself, "How much do I want this? For me, is it worth the actual cost? Also, is it worth the potential cost in the unfortunate case of a complication?" Those are subjective criteria. They are not facts, but, at the end of the day, it's what it comes down to. It's a very personal decision only you can make.
I hope that answers your question on when breasts stop growing. It’s great that you’re doing this research. I always say that the best patients are informed patients.
You might also want to research your options for breast implants. Choosing the right implant is the number one concern among women considering breast augmentation. Did you know, there’s actually a way to select a implant shape, size, and profile that is perfect for you?
A term that I use with my patients for the perfect implant is the “Pony Implant”.
So what do I mean by “perfect”? Well, a Pony Implant has three qualities to it. First, the implant meets your beauty goals. For example, you want to your breasts to look fuller while still appearing natural.
Second, when you chose your Pony Implant, you walk out of your consultation 100% confident that you’ve chosen the right shape and size for you. In other words, you won’t be second guessing your decision, and you won’t be afraid of having gone too big or too small.
And third, after your procedure, you are thrilled with your results, and say, "I’m so happy. This is exactly what I wanted!"
That’s the Pony Implant. And the great news is that there is a simple process to go about finding yours.
This issue of selecting the right implant is so important when it comes to patient satisfaction or dissatisfaction that, again, I really encourage you to learn more about it.
Thank you for reading and best of luck on your journey!
