Brief Answer:
About soy products and breast enlargement;
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Phytoestrogens have weak estrogenic activity. They contain soy extract that is POSSIBLY SAFE when used short-term (up to 6 months).
Soy can cause some mild side effects such as constipation, bloating, and nausea. It can also cause allergic reactions involving rash and itching in some people. If used for longer, there is an increased risk of; Kidney stones, urinary bladder cancer, hypothyroidism ect.
Natural curves contains also soy products.
Supplements and vitamins for breast enhancement have not been scientifically proven to work, many clinical trials have shown they are not effective in increasing the breast and have the above mentioned side effects.
That is why you have to think good before deciding to take these products.

About breast enlargement:
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I would suggest to follow a transgender center.
The most effective treatment in increasing the breast is the hormonal therapy with estrogen, of course not without possible side effects.
The dose recommended and the monitoring of the efficiency and side effects, should be done by a specialist of this field.
Another alternative is the surgical intervention to increase them.
Hope the information will help.
