Very: A woman knows her breasts better than anyone else, including of course her physician, and before the mammogram promotion, women who did self-exam as they should at the same time each month very seldom died of breast cancer. A dominant mass found needs a physician office visit. Call me old-fashioned, but i believe every woman needs to do this even today.

No: Not necessarily. Breast size in a non-pregnant woman is mostly determined by the amount of breast fat, not gland tissue.
