I found the study confirming what Isabelle said:
"Progesterone signaling through progesterone receptor (PR) is essential for lobulo-alveolar development that accompanies pregnancy, but not for ductal growth accompanying puberty."

So estrogen equals visible growth, while progesterone equals roundness and how much milk a breast can produce and store.
