A member asked:
Im 16 and my breasts are very small. i was underweight due to eating habits which have since changed, yet ive seen little change in their size. how can i assure their growth without gaining excess body fat? did this permanently stunt their growth?

Hard to know: Final breast size is determined by an interplay between genetics/hormones/tissue sensitivity & nutritional status. Some women will end with a raisin on a pancake shape as their final outcome while others may have a pair of watermelons. At sixteen you may fill out some but I wouldn't expect a drastic change.
