Possible Breast Underdevelopment Concern

Hi, I'm a 17yr old female, turning 18 this august. I got my period at 11 1/2 yrs. I have been a 34b cup since then and I have not grown. Everyone in my family has very large breats. My mother is a 38 DD and she got her period at age 9 or 10, and my grandmother is around the same size or a C, but she had aged & her breast size seems to have lessened. My mother's grandma on both father and mother's side have D size breast as well, & their not overweight. Even on my father's side, his mother has D size breast, as well as my cousins, they all have D or DD breast. I am wondering if I am underdeveloped? I was also a vegetarian since the age of 12 but I am currently eating meat again (for about a year now) due to fear of having affected my breast growth. I am wondering if this is the possible cause of why my breast are still 34B & can I ask a doctor for breast enlargement hormones & will it help to make me D cup or even a C cup?

(I also just want to state that I want breast growth hormones so I can feel confortable with myself, & not by any influence of the media, or for male attention.)


This discussion is related to ask an endocrinologist.

You are not underdeveloped. There is nothing any doctor can give you to magically make your breasts grow, or else plenty of other people would be using it now instead of implants. You compare your size to your mother, grandmother, etc, all women who have gone through pregnancy and child birth. Your breasts will grow during that time and don't shrink back to the beginning size you had prior. Every woman's body is different, this just happens to be your size. I might add that you are not small and I wouldn't worry about your size. It's not healthy to constantly compare your body to others as well. Good luck.
