Answer:
Stages of Breast Development
There have been several studies concerning breast development in girls and they have recognized a pattern in the growth pattern of developing breasts. This growth pattern has been divided into five stages of breast development. These stages take eight to ten years for a young woman to go through before breast development is complete.
Stage 1 (The child less than 10 years old)
In this time period the child is growing in all areas, however development of breasts isn’t yet seen. Areola's are only brownish spots where there will one day be full breasts and fully developed nipples.
Stage 2 (Beginning development age 8-13)
There are some differing viewpoints as to the age at which this stage begins. There are those that say that it begins at nine years, but it is well proven that there are factors (such as obesity, which increases Leptin, the hormone required to start puberty and breast development) that can bring about early onset of this stage. In this stage small breast buds develop in preparation for growth of the ducts. Menarche will start approximately four years after this stage.
Stage 3 (Ages 12-14 years)
In this stage the breasts buds are beginning to enlarge. There might be some pain or anguish.
Stage 4 (Ages 12-15)
At this stage of development the breasts form mounds and are gradually enlarging. There may be some additional anguish and pink lines may appear on the breasts, these are only stretch marks and will fade in time. In addition there might be noticeable pain. This is only the breasts growing and the skin growing to accommodate the enlarging mound beneath it. This anguish will pass in about a year or so.
It is at this stage of life that a young girl should be taught and makes it a habit to do breast self exams. This is definitely not because cancer is a worry at this point in life. However, it is because cancer is a possibility later in life and that it is important for the teenager to get into the habit of doing these exams shortly after each menstrual cycle.
This is a good time to buy a bra to prevent injury. The child needs to understand that a brassier is more than underwear. A bra is meant to protect the breasts both during and after growth. Breast injury is quite painful and breasts need to be protected while jogging and other sports. There are some who claim that it is very good for a person to wear a bra to bed.
Stage 5 (ages 14-18)
This is the last stage and the breasts mature and become full and rounded. This is about the time a woman has realized the approximate breast and bra size that she’ll most likely retain for most of the rest of her life. There will be factors that’ll change this; breast size will increase with both pregnancy and weight gain. In addition if the young woman is overweight at this point in her life, then dramatic weight loss will of course decrease the amount of fat in the breasts and her bra size will decrease.
It is also during this last stage of development that the ducts within the breast will be growing and this can produce small lumps. ` These are nothing to be concerned about; these usually go away within several menstrual cycles. Doctors generally are not concerned about this unless they last longer than three menstrual cycles.
While breast growth and development is a absolutely normal thing that happens to a young girl, it can also be a scary time. There are lots of changes taking place and some of these associated with the breasts are not taking place at the same time. There might be a period where one breast is slightly more massive than the other. This is just a minor and very normal thing that happens during any growth period. After about 18 years old the breasts should be very close to the same size.
hope this helped.xoxo
Answer:
Well, we start out pretty flat with flat nipples, then the nipple starts to kind of stick out from the body, then the bottom starts to get larger, called “budding”, then the sides and top fill out until you reach the size you will be. Usually pretty much done by 16 yo, unless you get pregnant, gain weight or have pricey surgery.
