Variability: The final breast shape, size and volume varies based on many genetic and some hormonal issues. Some will have oversized structures that lead to back pain and posture problems. Some have the equivalent of a raisin on a pancake. Plastic surgeons make a great living reducing the big ones or adding to the small.
