at what age does a women boobs stop growing?

Question

I'm 18 right now and I weight 101 pounds. It seem like they stop growing when I was around 16 and now i'm 18 and they're getting a little larger. what can cause that? is it because I like to drink milk these few months. will they ever shrink back or something if I stop drinking it? how come sometime I feel like it's smaller then normal and sometime the opposite? am I thinking too much?

OH BTW does the size of your boobs come from your mother or grandma?

Answer 1

after 20

Answer 2

Your breasts are increasing in size mainly because your body is still developing. I am 18 as well, and my breasts recently (last summer) basically grew almost two cup sizes! I did, though, get my period at 15 (a little later than usual, I guess). I'm pretty sure a women's body doesn't stop developing until she's in her early 20's. There is really nothing you can do to make your boobs bigger or smaller, except if you gain/lose weight. No pill, no kind of food, none of that will do anything--its all bologna!

Answer 3

everyone different, but it's usually around 19. Some people stop as early as 17, some as late as 21. I know that I was surprised when I was the same cup size all through high school, and then all of a sudden Around Prom I jumped up a whole cup size. And milk is not the reason yours are different now. women's bodies retain water, which fluctuates weight and breast size, causes bloating, etc... Everyone breasts vary in size from time to time, your menstrual cycle has to do with it too, but it's normal. and you get your boob size from your mother and your grandma. it's genetics.
PS- the person above me knows nothing-bras never stopped anyone's breasts from growing.:[

Answer 4

There are many things that can affect the size of your breasts. It is common for some women, myself included to retain water in their breasts as a symptom of PMS. I gain about 3 pounds a moth with PMS and it is all in my breasts.
Some studies suggest that the synthetic hormones in milk can affect women's breast size as well. I have no personal experience with this. I don't drink milk.
Ones body weight will also have an impact on the size of their breasts. When I was 18 I weighed 119 and was a 34b. Now I weigh 155 and wear a 36d.
Hormones such as birth control can also impact the size of your breasts. They made mine larger and really sore too.

Answer 5

Generally women's breasts stop developing by the age of 16-18. Your breast size can also be affected by birth control pills and weight gain. Some people theorize that the hormones in milk from cows treated with recombinant bovine growth hormone can cause changes in bodies usually associated with puberty, such as breast growth, but this is not proven.

Answer 6

It varies from woman to woman. Throughout your life, your boobs will increase and decrease. Most women have a period after they are 18 when they continue to grow for awhile, it usually lasts until you are 21. You're not thinking too much, I have noticed this also. I like you, was curious, I researched my butt off.

Answer 7

At age 21.

Answer 8

If you think your boobs have stopped growing, you're wrong. Every second we change biologically, and that include the boobs. Some day at middle age, you'll start to find it growing downwards, and at a ripe ol' age, hanging down like saddle-bags. lol.

Answer 9

Your breast fullness will coincide with your period. When you put on weight your breast size will also increase. They will stop growing in your early 20's with out any significant weight or hormonal changes. Do your monthy breast check to feel for any changes in density. Get in the habit.

Take care,
