Natural breast size is primarily influenced by genetics, hormones, and age, with breast composition varying significantly among individuals. Breasts consist mainly of fat, glandular tissue, connective tissue, and blood supply, with hormonal changes during menstruation and pregnancy affecting size and volume. Cultural emphasis on breast size raises concerns about women's self-esteem and the psychological factors leading to breast augmentation surgeries. The discussion highlights the misconception that breast size correlates directly with a woman's health or suitability for motherhood. Overall, understanding the biological composition and function of breasts is essential in addressing societal pressures surrounding breast aesthetics.

Happeh, what are your motivations in this discussion? I'm going to go out on a limb here and ask: do you feel that the need for women to flaunt large breasts contradicts some religious view of yours?

Those doctors are making a fortune taking advantage of the weak self esteem of these women.

Hmm, I don't know about this. I think that it is only natural that people want to be considered attractive to the opposite sex, and if they have the money to spend to make that happen then they will. i don't think that is necessarily "weak self esteem" any more than women buying expensive dresses that flatter themselves or dying their hair. What is the example of a woman with good self-esteem, covered in a burlap sack?
