Fat distribution Įstrogen causes fat to be stored on a young woman's buttocks, hips and thighs, but not her waist.Įstrogens can also affect the female body shape in a number of other ways, including increasing fat stores, accelerating metabolism, reducing muscle mass, and increasing bone formation. īreasts can decrease in size at menopause if estrogen levels decline. Breasts generally revert to approximately their previous size after pregnancy, although there may be some increased sagging. These changes may continue during breastfeeding. The size of the nipples may increase noticeably. A number of other changes typically occur during pregnancy, including enlargement and increased firmness of the breasts, mainly due to hypertrophy of the mammary gland in response to the hormone prolactin. Įstrogen levels also rise significantly during pregnancy. Working against estrogen, the presence of testosterone in a pubescent female inhibits breast development and promotes muscle and facial hair development. As a result of estrogens, during puberty, girls develop breasts and their hips widen. Besides other functions, estrogens promote the development of female secondary sexual characteristics, such as breasts and hips. They are produced in both men and women, but their levels are significantly higher in women, especially in those of reproductive age.
