I just turned 18 last week and I want to get breast implants. The thing I'm concerned about is that I'm not sure if my breasts are fully developed. I started my period when I was 12 and I haven't really grown height wise or breast wise since I was 16. I don't want to schedule a consultation until I'm sure I'm fully developed so It won't be a waste of time. Is it possible to say what the characteristics of a fully developed breast are? Sorry I know it's hard to answer. Thank you for your help :)
Answer: Breast Development Although breast growth varies from patient to patient, it generally stops between 16 and 20 years of age. Even though growth stops, the breasts continue to undergo changes for the remainder of a woman's life. This is effected by weight gain , pregnancy, lactation and gravity.Since you haven't experienced breast growth since you were sixteen, it's probably reasonable to consult a plastic surgeon for breast augmentation. At this point, your breast size is probably stable.

Answer: Breast Development In general, female breasts stop developing at around 18 or 19 years old. This is when a primary level of maturity is achieved, however further changes occur with pregnancy and lactation (the production of breast milk). Your breasts will continue to change throughout your life, as the signs of aging become more apparent. For example, your breasts may begin to droop as supportive tissues weaken, or grow larger when you gain weight. Sagging is common after childbirth. For this reason, if you are planning to have a child soon, it's best to wait until after to proceed with breast augmentation.

Answer: Are my Breasts Fully Developed?
Yes, in agreement with other responders, your breasts are fully developed but change during your adult life in response to weight and hormone fluctuations, most notably during pregnancy, lactation, and afterward. If size of breasts are a hangup, go for consultation(s). Augmentation, if performed by a qualified surgeon who properly selects and prepares you, may be the best investment you ever make.

Answer: Breast development
As the size has been stable for two years it sounds as if your breasts have likely developed as much as they will without pregnancy or weight gain. If you have a mature nipple complex that can be one indication that you aren't just a late bloomer. Ask your mother when her breasts developed as a family reference.

Answer: Breasts deveoped by age 18?
Thank you for your question. On average, girls finish development earlier than boys. By age 18, most women have reached their full growth. Given the lack of breast growth over the past 2 years, your breasts are unlikely to develop more. Overall size of the breasts can still fluctuate with weight changes, however.
Good luck!
