A member asked:
If you experience lack of estrogen at a young age, can that stop breast growth? (resulting in underdeveloped breasts)
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Estrogen is the hormone responsible for breast growth during puberty, so if estrogen levels are low during puberty, the breasts will not develop as much. Malnutrition (lack of fat in diet) can also contribute to underdeveloped breasts.
