13, 14 and even 18, but breasts are not growing! Why? Size 0 is not a death sentence!

Features of breast structure with micromastia

With a very small breast size, the typical cone-shaped gland does not form; only the areolas and nipples can be contoured.
Such a pathology can only be determined after adulthood, since by this period the breasts stop growing and forming. Micromastia affects up to 35% of women of childbearing age. An extreme variant of the pathology is also possible - amastia - almost complete atrophy of the mammary glands, in which there are not even rudiments of glandular tissue in the breast. But this is extremely rare.

Different breasts: correction with lipofilling

Advantages of lipofilling for correction of breast asymmetry:

• the patient’s own fat cells are guaranteed not to cause allergies and will not be rejected by the body;
• a result that is natural in consistency and appearance;
• no traces of the operation performed;
• During the operation, the mammary gland is not injured at all;
• minimal invasiveness of the operation;
• short recovery period;
• lipofilling allows not only to correct breasts of different sizes, but also to improve the condition of the skin of the mammary glands.

Plastic surgery will allow you to forget about the problem of different breasts forever. You will be able to get closer to the standard of beauty invented by the ancient Greeks, but more importantly, you will have the opportunity to admire your reflection in the mirror, increase your chances of success in many areas, feel the desire to buy beautiful things, and feel more confident next to the man you love.

Types of micromastia

Usually, small breast size only brings aesthetic inconvenience to a woman. From a functional point of view, mammary glands of any size produce a sufficient amount of breast milk during lactation. In addition, breasts increase significantly during pregnancy and lactation. There are several types of micromastia in women:

• bilateral - both mammary glands are equally small in size, there is no pronounced asymmetry;
• unilateral - with this form of pathology, one mammary gland has a normal size and shape, and the second is significantly reduced.

There are complex forms of micromastia, when both breasts are reduced, but the degree of their development is different.

How to determine clothing size for children under 5 years old

Up to a certain age (4–5 years), boys and girls develop almost identically, so the sizes are determined based on the baby’s height, and a child under 2 years old should be measured with a flexible ruler (“centimeter”) from the top of the head to the heels in a lying position, and the older ones - leaning their backs against a flat vertical surface.

The number obtained after measurement will be the size of your child’s clothing, so when purchasing, you need to look on the tag for either an exact match or a larger number. Children grow rapidly, so, for example, if their height is 70 cm, then it is better to choose clothes for height 74.

Once the baby’s height is determined, you just need to find its correspondence to the size numbering in the lines of domestic and foreign brands.

Causes of small breasts

Often the answer to the question of why a woman has small breast size lies in the constitutional characteristics of the body. Short and asthenic women usually have small breasts, although exceptions are possible. Causes of micromastia:

• genetic predisposition to underdevelopment of glandular tissue of the mammary glands;
• a sharp decrease in the production of sex hormones by the ovaries during puberty due to severe somatic, infectious or endocrine disorders;
• surgical interventions on the pelvic organs and ovaries, in the mammary glands during childhood or adolescence;
• excess male sex hormones (androgens and especially testosterone) in a woman’s body;
• pronounced weight loss.

How to choose the right teenage bra?

So, let's understand the questions: how to choose the first bra for a girl and how does it differ from adult models?

The first thing you need to do before trying on is to decide on the size. For this:

1. Using a measuring tape, you must first measure the volume of your chest at the protruding points. In this case, the tape must be kept parallel to the floor line and not pinched: it should hug the body tightly, but not dig into it.
2. Then you need to measure the girth of the torso under the chest.
3. All that remains is to subtract the second from the first digit and remember this difference.

The sizes of all bras for teenagers have their own classification depending on the difference between the volume of the chest and the girth of the torso underneath, and the cup size:

1. If the difference varies from 10 to 12 cm, this is size zero or AA.
2. From 12 to 14 cm – size A.
3. From 14 to 16 cm – size B.
4. From 16 to 18 cm – size C.
5. From 18 to 20 cm – size D.

For example, if the volume under the bust is 70 cm, and the difference is 12, then you should choose a bra with 70 AA on the label. Sizes AA, A and B are the most suitable for teenage girls choosing a children's bra for the first time.

It happens that the breast is so small that there is no suitable size for it. In this case, it is better to choose models in the form of tops with supportive cups. This type of underwear allows the breasts to form correctly. But it’s better not to buy a bra with a push-up effect just yet. Visually, it will, of course, lift the chest and easily make a size three from a zero. But this can negatively affect breast development due to pressure on blood vessels and lymph nodes.

Unlike women's models, bras for teenagers are available only with side wires or without them at all. They are usually made of natural soft and breathable material and should perfectly follow the shape of the breast. Breast volume at this age increases rapidly, and the new clothes soon become tight. Therefore, both mother and daughter should be ready to buy a new bra in six months, or even earlier.

What you should pay attention to

Of course, size plays a major role when choosing children's clothes, but do not forget about the quality of the products. You should not put synthetic things on your children. They cause allergies, wear poorly, and prevent the body from breathing. For children under one year old, it is not advisable to buy new clothes that can be worn over the head without additional fasteners at the neck. Don’t forget about small fittings on things for children under 3 years old. It poses a real threat to the baby's life.

You should always buy something with slightly larger parameters. Natural fabrics, especially cotton, shrink when washed. Pay attention to the labels. They should not be sharp; if possible, it is better to remove them immediately before wearing them.

How much to buy clothes with?

The maternity hospital purchases standard sets for newborns, without especially thinking about the size of the baby. Even if during pregnancy, during an ultrasound examination, a specialist determines the dimensions of the child, it is not a fact that they correspond to reality. In this case, an error of several centimeters is allowed.

When the baby is born and begins to actively gain weight, measurements will be taken from him every month until he is one year old (height, chest volume, head circumference, etc.). These indicators will become the basis for what size of things to choose, focusing on well-known tables.

Important! It is not worth buying clothes in advance, taking into account the average size coefficient. Each child develops individually, it depends on many factors.

It is better to refresh your baby's wardrobe as needed. Noticing that the baby’s clothes have become too tight, the mother takes his next measurements and heads to the store. To ensure that vests, dresses and other items last for several weeks, add 1.5-2 cm to the maximum size in the age range as a reserve.

Taking measurements

To get the right shopping guidelines, a mother must know how to determine her baby's size. A one-year-old toddler can be leaned against the doorway and a “notch” can be made with a pencil. It is best to measure infants in a supine position.

The child is undressed and laid on a flat surface. Take a tailor's centimeter and perform the following actions:

height is determined in a straight line by laying a meter from the top of the head to the toes;

Baby growth measurement

• The volume of the chest can be determined by stretching the tape around the body at the level of the armpits, across the shoulder blades;
• To determine the head circumference, a centimeter is placed above the ears, eyebrows, and the most convex part of the back of the head is captured.

During the first months, a newborn's feet are covered with booties. Then the need arises to buy shoes. To do this, you will have to determine your foot size by following a step-by-step algorithm:

• Place a sheet of paper on a hard, flat surface;
• place the baby’s foot and trace it with a pencil, holding it strictly perpendicular to the surface;
• Apply a ruler to the drawing and measure the distance from the heel to the edge of the big toe.

Measurements are also taken from the 2nd foot. In case of deviation from the size of the first leg, the maximum result is taken as a guide. If it is expressed as a decimal fraction, the number should be rounded up.

The resulting parameter can be used when purchasing socks for your baby. To determine the size of the sandals, you need to add another 5 mm.

Note! The described algorithm will help determine the size of summer shoes. For demi-season and winter models, measurements are taken from the leg, dressed in socks or sliders

It is important to be able to compare the markings of a Russian manufacturer with European ones. Fortunately, there are many tables that help you avoid making mistakes in determining clothing sizes based on the age, height, and chest volume of a newborn

Children's clothing sizes from China

It will not be superfluous to understand the peculiarities of Chinese things - after all, we have a lot of it in Russia! The main difference is that our manufacturers are guided mainly by height, while Chinese manufacturers are guided by age.

On things from China for children beyond infancy, there is a marking with the letter “T”. For example, 9 T or 10 T. “T” means the number of years, i.e. 9 T - things for a 9-year-old, 10 T - for a 10-year-old, etc. Another important thing is that the domestic size range is wider than the Chinese one. For example, for babies under one year old in China there are 4 sizes, but here we have as many as 6.

Children under 2 years of age

Girls 3-15 years old

Boys 3-16 years old

For children who have passed infant age, the marking will include a number indicating the age with the letter T. For example, 5T means that we have a thing for a 5-year-old child. Please note: Chinese sizes for children by age are presented in smaller quantities. If in Russia there are 6 markers for infants, then in China there are only 4.
