Can the chest still grow larger after puberty?
I am 28 years old this year. Since puberty, my breasts have always been relatively small. I didn't think much of it before, but now my friends are discussing ways to enhance breast size, and I've started to become self-conscious about it. I've seen some methods online claiming to increase breast size, but I'm worried they may not be reliable. I'd like to ask doctors: is it possible to increase breast size after puberty? If so, what are the scientifically proven methods?

Breast size is mainly determined by factors such as genetics, hormone levels, fat content, and breast tissue development. Breast growth typically stops after puberty, but there are generally some measures one can take to enhance breast appearance. A detailed analysis is as follows:
During puberty, increased estrogen secretion promotes the growth of breast tissue and fat, leading to gradual breast development. In adulthood, breast gland development is largely complete, but fat tissue can still change due to weight fluctuations. Additionally, long-term use of ill-fitting bras and poor posture that compresses the chest may also affect breast appearance.
If one desires to enhance breast size after puberty, dietary adjustments can be considered, such as consuming more foods rich in protein, vitamin E, and unsaturated fatty acids, to provide nutrients for breast development. Regular chest exercises, like push-ups and dumbbell flys, can strengthen the pectoral muscles and visually enhance breast firmness and appearance.
In daily life, it is recommended to maintain regular sleep patterns and a positive mindset, avoiding excessive熬夜 (staying up late) and high levels of mental stress to prevent endocrine disorders that may affect hormone levels. For those seeking faster results, medical aesthetic procedures are an option; however, these methods carry risks such as infection and rejection reactions and should be performed by qualified professionals at正规 (legitimate) medical institutions.
