Q.
How big will my
breasts get and what is normal?
A.
There is no 'real'
answer to this question, since we all come in different sizes.
Some of us are tall and some short. Similarly, some girls
have large, medium, or small breasts. However, many girls
are unhappy because they think their breasts are too small
or too large.
Attitudes about breast size are often influenced by fashions.
In the Flapper days (1920s), it was considered desirable to
have small breasts, as was the case in the l960s when fashion
models began to look emaciated. With the arrival of the Wonder
Bra, it again became fashionable to have larger breasts.
From
a health perspective, there is no ideal breast size. Breast
size bears no relationship to breast cancer or ability to
nurse a baby. There are surgical procedures available to increase
or decrease the size of breasts. These are major operations
and they should not be entered into without considerable thought
and extensive information, as they have possible serious drawbacks
and complications. Padded bras are safer alternatives for
those who want their breasts to appear larger. There are also
'breast enhancers' that a lot of people on TV or in movies
use now instead of surgery. They are available at bra stores
and on the net. They look very real, BTW.
Also,
remember that you have time on your side as breasts continue
to grow, especially during puberty and pregnancy. Improving
nutrition may also contribute to increased too.

Q.
If your
mother and sisters have small breasts will you have small
ones too?
A.
There is
some genetic component to breast size. However, there are
some health professionals that argue about this. It is not
uncommon within one family to see sisters or mother and daughters
with very different breast sizes. For more, check out -- Breast
Questions for a lot more on this topic.

Q.
What I can do to make my
breasts bigger?
A.
Breasts
are made up of fat and fibrous tissue with glands that enlarge
during pregnancy to allow for breast feeding. When a women
gains weight, her breasts usually get bigger. Exercise can
enlarge the 'look' of the breasts, not by adding fat to breast
tissue, but by enlarging the muscles beneath the breasts.
This sometimes can cause breast tissue loss in some women
because when they workout they lose fatty tissue. You know
your body and how it responds to weight gain and loss after
a while.
There
are no other effective non-surgical alternatives for breast
enlargement, there are no known 'herbs' or supplements that
health care providers will endorse for breast size increase.
Surgical breast enlargement involves placing an artificial
liquid (saltwater or silicone)] containing device into the
space between the breast tissue and the underlying muscle
through a small incision under the nipple or in the armpit.
If
that is something you are interested in, talk to your parents
and give it a lot of thought.
FYI:
More than 150,000 women had breast augmentation surgery last
year; an all-time high. At the same time, the number of teenagers
who choose breast implants has more than doubled in the last
two years. and for more information , check
