Breasts: They Come In All Shapes & Sizes / Question
Published: October 17, 2001
Dear TeenHealthFX,
I am 16-year-old girl. I feel that my breasts are too small for the age I am now. I have seen a program about how to increase the size of the breasts by having the correct diet and exercise. Can you please give me some suggestions and methods on how to increase my breasts? Million thanks.

Dear Program To Increase Breast Size,
TeenHealthFX is all in favor of eating healthy and regular exercise not because it will make your breasts bigger but because it is a healthy way to live your life.
These products that offer bigger breasts try to take advantage of people by implying that there is something wrong with them in the first place. At 16 there is a strong possibility that your breasts will continue to grow but only to a point that has already been determined by your genetic makeup. No diet will change your breast size!
TeenHealthFX suggests that you invest your time and energy on yourself. It is important to accept yourself for who you are and discover all the many things that make you special as a person. Looking for imperfections is counter-productive to developing your self-esteem.
If you really still feel strongly about your breast size, discuss this with your mother and your doctor. They may help you alleviate your concerns about your breast size.
