Breasts have always been a distinctive symbol of femininity. In fact, in many cultures, breast size is regarded as a significant basis of attractiveness and even fertility. Due to their various shapes and sizes, the issue of the “right breast size” has caught the attention of men and women alike. Some still believe that “bigger is better.” So, is it true? Some studies showed that bigger is not always better. For example, breast reduction of symptomatic adults and adolescents with macromastia (big breasts) improves quality of life scores. It has also been specifically associated with improved pulmonary function tests. Further, a recent meta-analysis suggests but does not prove that there may be benefits for women with large breasts felt related to back pain. In general, breast size is determined by genetics, making it distinct for every woman.
