I've had an eating disorder for 7~ years and lost a lot of weight.I got my eating disorder in the midst of my puberty (but I had gotten my period) so I never got boobs. Now I'm almost 20 but I've started eating real food and gained about 10 kg the last months.I haven't seen my breast change though, and I was wondering if it's now too late to ever get boobs back since I messed up my puberty? All the women in my family have big breasts.I feel very sad and unattractive looking like a teenage boy...

Answer: Breast Growth Hello and thank you for your inquiry. First I would like to congratulate you for overcoming such an obstacle and beating your disorder. It is great news to hear that you are now healthy and doing well. That being said, the optimal time for your breast growth was during puberty. However, with your recent weight gain, I suggest you continue with your healthy regime and wait another year to see for any breast size changes. Your body has undergone trauma and is still going through heavy changes and you need to give it the time necessary to recover. If within a year you gain a few more pounds, maintain a healthy regime and still do not see a significant change in your breast size than I would consider consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon to look into breast augmentation surgery. In hopes this has helped you Best Regards

Answer: Will Breasts Grow After Eating Disorder? Congratulations on the progress you have been making with your eating disorder. We realize that this can be a difficult struggle because you want your weight gain to be slow and steady. At 20, it is doubtful that your breasts will "grow" in the typical sense. You may notice slight increase in size due to adding some weight gain, but it may not give you the change you are hoping for in itself. Once you have been able to stabilize your weight at the desired level, it would be good to visit with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and look at the options in breast augmentation that would be most suitable for you.
