do breasts only grow because of weight gain during puberty?

I know people say that during puberty (i'm 17) that your breasts grow, but is it all down to weight gain? because after all breasts are really just made of fat...

If not why do breasts grow? what makes them grow?

    They grow if you put on weight, during puberty due to hormones.

    Girls that go on the pill are sometimes known to go up 2bra sizes! Sure its fat but its your body that decides it needs to hold on to the fat and where to put it! Some girls put on weight and it goes to their bum, some girls it goes to their boobs or hips.

    Hi,

    Pl. try breast massage. Breast massage is one of the best ways to help create a more beautiful bustline by helping to shape, tone and promote growth of the breast and the area surrounding the breast.

    By massaging the breasts on a regular basis, many ladies have claimed it has enhanced the shape, size and overall attractiveness of their breast.

    Here are some guidelines for breast massage you may want to follow:

    1.) Use Olive Oil or any other cream of your choice to help prevent friction and increase the enjoyment and relaxation of the massage for a more pleasurable and therapeutic experience. This can be an herbal mixture - there are some good ones out there that really do help to promote firmess and breast tone, while creating a larger and more rounded look.

    2.) Light to moderate massaging using a gentle back and forth gentle “swishing” action is best. This can be in a counterclockwise circle around the breast to help promote maximum lymphatic drainage.

    3.) To gain maximum benefit and therapeutic effects, breast massage should be practiced daily, as part of a routine - perhaps when fresh out of the shower, since the skin is still somewhat moist and the room may still be steamy, for a smoother massage which may be more easily lubricated since there will still be moisture in the air. If you prefer, even several times a day can be a great benefit. It depends on what fits into your schedule. A few minutes at a time should suffice.

    Genetics are what makes breasts grow during puberty.

    Most people will tell you there's no way to make them grow naturally, without surgery. However birth control pills have a side effect of breast enlargement some women go up one or two cup sizes! Breast massage is also rumoured to increase breast size.

    Hope I helped! x

    Breasts are made of fat and gland trissue. if you gain weight then the fat content will be higher but if you stimulate your nipples the glands will grow. Gland tissue is firmer than fat.

    Your breasts contain mammary glands that make milk after you have a baby. Breasts are not made of just fat. They are also made of these glands.
