Why do some women have small breasts and others have large ones? There is quite a bit of variation in the size or bulk of an adult woman's breasts. What factors determine whether they turn out large or small? Breast shape and size is also partly hereditary, as is height.
At puberty, the breasts start to grow under the influence of hormones and then the fatty tissue, connective tissue and glandular tissue also grow with them. The amount of glandular and fatty tissue ultimately determines the size of the breast. The connective tissue provides support.
Because the amount of glandular tissue is hereditary, you will generally be able to look at the women in your family and see what the chances are of having large or small breasts. Since fat tissue also determines how big the breasts become, your weight also plays a role. Being overweight also has its impact on cup size. During pregnancy, breasts may also grow 1 or 2 cup sizes larger but this is because more glandular tissue is then created for the baby, after the breastfeeding period they return to normal.
Breast firmness is ensured by the skin and adjacent muscles. Breasts are subjected to their own weight, pregnancies, diets and hormonal changes and thus collapse over time. They swell or they shrink, and sometimes in such a disproportionate way that the skin becomes flabby, breaks and stretch marks appear. The skin of the breasts is thus subject to numerous changes that cause it to age.
Those who are dissatisfied with breasts that are too small and are also struggling with it psychologically can have prostheses fitted at I Care Clinc.
