Dear What Age Do Nipples Grow?,
A girl usually starts developing breasts about a year before she begins her period, though each body develops at a different pace and even in a different order. There is no way for FX to tell you when your nipples or breasts will grow, but it will likely happen within the next few years. You will see the area around your nipples (areola) get darker and your nipples grow. Eventually, your breasts will start to get larger over the course of a few years.
