Since <> kindergarten, or even more, since birth, we
differ between each other very much. The hair and skin color, but also,
the weight and size, though we are all at the same age. Even more, some
twins are different in weight and size when they’re still children!<>
<>
So, what makes these differences? Later on, in puberty, we kind
of “compete” among each other about the feminine and masculine
characteristics… like who has bigger breasts, which guy has more muscles
etc. this is all due to many factors, but mostly, genetics and the work
of the hormone glands.<>
<>
Here are some factors that mostly affect the changes in the body differently, in the same age:<>
The family history<>
Your genes are more likely to predict your breast baseline, but
not your size as well. “Women often are born with their breast size,
but it can change in their lifetime,” <>states Nazanin Khakpour, M.D.,a surgical oncologist specializing in breast cancer at Moffitt Cancer Center. <><>
If your mother and sister have big breasts, it’s not a
guarantee that you will also, but you’re more likely compared to some
girl who comes from a family of women with smaller breasts.<>
Your weight<>
Depending on your weight, you notice changes in the size of
your breasts. Probably, you notice the changes on your breasts at the
first place.<>
Because breasts are made up of supportive tissue, milk glands
and pretty much, a bunch of fat, it’s hard to tell the actual size of
breasts at girls who are overweight. Also, the amount of different
tissue differs from person to person – some have more fat tissue than
others, who have more supportive tissue.<>
The type of exercise<>
Have you ever seen a swimmer or ballet dancer with big breasts? <>Also,
lifting wright, doing push-ups and other pectoral exercises will make
your breasts look flatter, because you turn tissue into muscle.<>
Doing too much exercise can flatten the supportive and fatty
tissue of the breasts, but regular and “normal” exercising can actually
make your breasts to look fuller, lifting a certain part of the fatty
tissue who turns into muscle.<>
Birth control<>
“The Pill” can actually make your breasts look bigger, because
of the water retention in your body. Also, the pill can make some
disbalances in the hormones and glands, so this impact of bigger breasts
will not be permanent, for sure.<>
At the end, just to say that most of the variation in breast
size is due to a woman’s amount of mammary and adipose tissue.
Physically speaking, the best prediction factor of your breast size
would be your weight and body type.<>
Thinner women usually have smaller breasts, and vice-versa. The
stage of development in puberty can also play a role, but that factor
is also connected to body shape and size: again, thinner girls tend to
start growing breasts slower or maybe even later.<>
