We have considered if anything can be done to make a girl’s breasts larger. But some girls are still of the opinion that touching them – either by self or by another – will actually aid its growth, so I did a little bit more research and this is what I got. I sure hope it is the answer that you seek, and that it gives such girls the closure they need – touch wood.
It is absolutely not true! Touching or massaging breasts DOES NOT make them grow.
There are lots of wrong information about breast development out there. Some of the things you may hear are outright lies — like special creams or pills that make breasts bigger. (They don’t work!) Others are myths — some girls who want smaller breasts think that sleeping in a bra, or wearing a bra that’s too small can stunt breast growth, but that’s also not true.
In reality, genes and hormones determine breast growth. Some girls develop earlier, others later, and a girl’s breasts can keep growing and changing into her late teens. Every girl wants to be proud of her body. There are things you can do — like eating well and getting enough exercise and sleep — to help your body develop in a healthy way.
Don’t feel shy about talking to your doctor if you have questions about your body and how it is developing. Your doctor is used to answering questions like this, and he or she will be able to give you advice about your individual growth and development.
