Will me boobs grow at 17?

Question

I am 17 years old and I am wondering if my boobs will ever grow. I am still a 32/34A cup. I've been about 110-120 lbs and 5'1 since I was about 11,12. Will they ever grow?

Thanks for your question. At 17, if you have gone through puberty and are fully matured, it is unlikely that they will grow larger. The only permanent and effective way to enhance the size of your breasts is through breast augmentation. If this is something you are interested in, you should consult a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Parent approval is required for individuals under 18 years of age.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, Fl

Usually the breasts achieve full growth by 18 years of age, although sometimes it takes longer.  If you are at a steady weight it is not likely they will grow much more, assuming that you have gone through puberty.  A consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon will help you to clarify these issues.  Best wishes

If you have already gone through puberty it is unlikely they will grow. In some women weight gain causes an increase in breasts. Seek an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options.

Thank you for your question. If you have already gone through puberty I doubt your breasts will grow any further. In some women when they gain weight their breast will increase in size. Best of luck

Many thanks for posting your question.Whilst the majority of breast growth in most young women has taken place by now, there are still a significant minority of women in whom breast growth and changes occur between 18-20 years.My suggestion would therefore be to wait and see if your body continues to change, and not make any hasty decisions if, for example, you were thinking about enlarging your breasts.I hope that reassures you somewhat

Most women by the time they are 17 have developed breasts. If you have completed puberty and are getting your period pretty regularly, the likelihood of them growing more is low.  Good luck.

Sorry, but online consultants will not be able to predict with any degree of certainty whether your breasts will grow/change over the course of the next couple of years.  This is one of those questions, that "only time will tell".  If/when you have reached physical maturity and have concerns about breast size, seek consultation with board-certified plastic surgeons to discuss goals/options. Best wishes.
