At what age does chest development stop?
Disease description:
My daughter is now 16 years old, but her chest still appears very small, as if it hasn't developed at all. Therefore, I would like to ask until what age does breast development continue?

Breast development typically begins during puberty and gradually stops at different ages. Generally, breast development in most women stops between the ages of 18 and 23, although this can be influenced by various factors such as individual differences, genetics, nutrition, and hormone levels. Specifically, if development starts earlier, it may stop around age 18; if development starts later, it may continue until age 23 or even later. During the process of breast development, it is important to maintain balanced nutrition to avoid problems such as malnutrition or endocrine disorders, ensuring normal breast development. The time at which breast development stops varies among individuals, but most women stop developing shortly after puberty ends.
