I hear push-up bras can help, and horizontal stripes can make the chest look more prominent but...
The size of your boobs isn't what makes you valuable as a person. They're just fat deposits on your chest. They make up a truly tiny piece of who you are as a person. I personally think that confidence is far sexier than DD breasts.

Hey,
From your past posts, I remember you saying you'd been diagnosed with Anorexia. Your chest is often one of the things that disappears when you aren't eating enough calories to sustain your body.
When you are weight restored (back at a healthy weight) your body shape will gradually start to return to it's previous shape.
Think of this as just one more reason to recover!

True, however you are 16. I'd be curious to know how long you've had an eating disorder for. If it's been longer than 2 years, it's fully possible that you were simply prepubescent/biologically immature when the ED started, and now you could easily be much larger if you reach a healthy weight again.

Ah. May I ask: Were you originally within a medically "healthy" weight/BMI range before developing an eating disorder?
If you were not, it's possible that weight gain may still increase your size.
However, within five months during puberty, it is still possible your breast size may have increased during that time, but weight loss has prevented you from seeing it .

Gaining weight can make them look bigger, but sometimes it might just make other parts bigger, like your hips or butt or thighs. i can't really think of anything else. i know birth control makes them bigger (my roommate who was like a AA took a new kind of BC, and it made her boobs grow to at least a C, and i went from a C to a D when I started mine), but it's going to be difficult to get birth control for the sole purpose of making your boobs bigger, lol.
also, im sure you don't look like a man. girls have all different kinds of bodies and they're all beautiful :]

Hi Chantelle
Like already said, that fact that you've been diognosed with anorexia could be a factor of this. If you're underweight you're going to have smaller breasts and its going to be more reconognisable at your age because they're in the stafe of growing. So do use this as a reason to recover.
You could also try and build up your pectoral muscles (this are just underneathe your breasts). Its also important to ensure you're wearing the right bra size and that you are wearing it right. Push up bra's (push the boobs up!) and padded bras (to help give your boobs a fuller look) might also be a good thing for you to look into.
I have also done some research and read the massaging the breasts can help them to be bigger since this causes the nerves in your breasts to be stimulated and it can also prevent them from sagging in the future as it helps to deliever nutrients for repair.
I hope this helps,
Jessie

Even if you believe they've always been small, I think they will increase in size once you start gaining weight in recovery. 16 is NOT done with puberty, my breasts grew another cup size from the time I was 16 to now. So really, gaining weight in recovery and having patience seems like your best options.
Until then, push-up bras can really do wonders. Victoria Secret has bras that can make you look two cup sizes larger naturally. Last, there are many tips you can do to make them look bigger. For example, you can wear two regular bras, safety pin them in the back, and so on. Some of these tips can be found here, warning, there might be language in the video.

Being a dude I wouldn't know any good answers to your question but I would say you don't need to make them bigger if you're trying to impress guys. It would be a turnoff for most guys if they found out you were stuffing your bra. Just be yourself your boobs don't matter.
Re: how can i make my breasts look bigger -
July 20th 2012, 12:07 AM
oh, yeah, i forgot to mention that too. I was a B when I was 14-15, and by the time I was 16 I was a C, then I got bigger at 18 and was a small D/bigger C, and now I'm a D at 19 :] so they might not even be done growing yet.
Re: how can i make my breasts look bigger -

What Justin said. It really doesn't matter. You should feel good about yourself no matter how big your boobs are. Like I said, there are a lot of different body types, and they are all beautiful! :]
Re: how can i make my breasts look bigger -

Ever considered using a push up bra? Those make you look bustier. I read somewhere that massaging your breats everyday makes them grow. I tried it out to see if it would work and I do see a difference. Feel free to try that out! But bigger boobs do make you a better person. I'm sure you're a very beautiful person with bigger breasts or not

When you learn to love your breasts for what they are and to love your body, you will be okay with having smaller breasts. I'm sure you don't look like a boy. Age 16 is not done puberty yet! Girls grow and develop into their 20's sometimes! I agree with what others have said about your eating disorder. When you recover and get back to a healthy weight, your breasts will likely grow with that process.

Besides push-up bras? Something that helps is literally grabbing your breasts and pulling them up and towards the middle of your chest to create cleavage. You can get push-up bras at almost any store (depending on the quality) and they can come with various liners or inserts to make them look bigger. Your breasts will grow past age 16 -- I've heard anywhere from 19-21 and if you have children, that also affects them.
Hope this helped!
when you love and laugh abundantly you live a beautiful life.

Hi.
Like the others have said, your a beautiful person, no matter if you have bigger boobs or not . Plus the anorexia may play a part in you not having a bigger chest. But if you really want a bigger chest, I would recommend a push-up bra. Like some people said massaging may help them grow. My friend said wearing certain colors (red) can make it seem like you have a bigger chest. I hope this helps

It's what is on the inside that counts, as many people have pointed out. You're still going through puberty so you have plenty of time for them to get bigger. Plus, one of my friends just got a reduction because hers were so big and they were giving her back problems - at least you don't have to deal with that.
You are beautiful no matter how small your breasts are. I don't let the size of mine get me down and you shouldn't let the size of yours get you down, either. The more confident you are with yourself the more guys will be attracted to you.

Like everyone else said, breast size really doesn't matter. I can understand from a confidence point of view though. Some clothes can naturally enhance your body because of the way they sit. You could also try a padded bra for a little extra size if you really want to. Just don't try sticking socks in there, it will get really uncomfortable after a while.

You're breasts aren't fully developed yet, disorders aside. I'm 21 and my mine are still growing!
Boobs are an area where women tend to feel very self conscious, so don't feel like you're all on your own because you're not.
The others have all talked about body confidence and not having to worry about your looks and what not so I won't give you that lecture, but I will give you a little tip I learnt.
If you wear a top that shows a little bit of skin, use blusher that's a slightly darker tone than your skin on your chest. It gives the appearance of bigger boobs.
Also try distracting attention away from your boobs via drawing attention to another part of your body like your figure, face or legs. You can do this simple by wearing a different item of clothing. A knee length skirt or shorter will attract attention to your legs whilst a belt can help drawn attention to your figure. And it'll actually improve your confidence.
Sorry for going off topic a lot. At the end of the day, you are still growing and naturally you're going have body insecurities, but so does everyone else.

Just wanted to say first that I agree with what everyone else has said, 1st and foremost that your boobs alone don't define how beautiful you are or your self-worth, but at the same time, I totally understand how it helps form part of your sexual identity. I'm a small B myself and am happy with my size but I could still grow for all I know. I know my older sis, who's 18, grew another 2 inches and a full cup size just in the past year! So don't give up hope yet.
Getting back to massaging, I know it sounds weird but I've heard that massaging your breasts is a good thing even aside from trying to increase their size. I do it pretty much every day, sometimes several times a day, in the shower for instance, or when I'm just alone in my room relaxing, with or without a bra on. You don't have to press or squeeze them really hard or anything, just as much as you're willing to do. I do it firmly but light enough that it's comfortable (and for that matter, pleasurable too).
Make sure to eat healthy and try to drink milk if you can, which will help your body overall.

Hola. I've got a couple of solutions for ya- but most of them involve completely... Well, for instance, pregnancy can cause hormones to do their thing. However, I wouldn't suggest getting pregnant just to grow your boobs.
1. Push up bra. They work wonders.
2. Birth control
3. Weight gain
4. ....popping your cherry. Some girls will notice changes in their hormones just because they've lost their virginity. Doesn't always happen though.
5. Pregnancy
6. Red meat
7. Life. My sister grew a cup size from age 17 to age 19, just because of hormones, having a good diet and getting exercise, being a healthy weight, etc. So don't give up hope!
