The main objective of our study was to determine breast skin thickness and breast skin and adipose/fibroglandular tissue stiffness. The secondary objective was to assess clinical predictors of elasticity and thickness: age, smoking status, body mass index, contraception, pregnancies, breastfeeding, menopausal status, history of radiotherapy or breast surgery...
