Abstract:
In the human species, a major function of the breast is aesthetic. The soft-tissue volume within the breast displaces the overlying skin to create the protuberant contour of the female thorax, that is solidly associated with, and to some extent, definitive of, femininity in modern culture. Adipose tissue is the major contributor to the volume of the breast.
