She has exaggerating breast size.
Any difference between them ?

The first, with the modification “an” is the correct one. When the noun ‘size’ is used (even when modified) it takes an article—in this case, “an”—because it is preceded by “exaggerated”. The word “exaggerating” is a verb, so is not grammatical in this sentence.

The word “exaggerating” is a verb, so is not grammatical in this sentence. You could say, “She has been exaggerating her breast size.”

It is grammatically correct, but the meaning is nonsense.

It says that the size of her ******* exaggerates. As far as I know, sizes can't talk, let alone breast sizes, so how
