As the society becomes more image conscious, the quest for the “aesthetically perfect breast” has escalated”. Whilst there are individual preferences regarding sizes and shapes, there is however no uniform agreement on what constitutes aesthetically perfect breasts. Recent articles in the Journal of Plastic And Reconstructive Surgery have shown that

• The perception of what is considered as attractive and desirable by women has changed over the last ten years and • There is significant differences in the aesthetic perception between what the surgeons and potential augmentation candidates consider as attractive.

These observations are due to the media influence and publicity from celebrities with their push up bra look. As a result, the look that most women request nowadays tends to steer towards a fuller upper part of the breast. It is important that you convey your preference to your surgeon and ensure that they understands your aesthetics requirements.

So, what do women want?
Dr Liew has observed that all women who seek this type of surgery want some increase (in various degrees) in

• Perkiness (fullness), especially in the upper pole (chest), • Better cleavage • Enhancing the existing shape or in some cases, changing the shape • Correct droopiness (ptosis)

Dr Liew’s idea of an aesthetically attractive breast has the following criteria -
	• Adequate fullness to the upper part of the breast with gentle curve from the upper chest to the nipple, without bulges or concavity. • Nipple either in horizontal or slightly upturn • The outer part of the breast should cover the ribcage , thus accentuate the female waist line. • An adequate size and shape that is in balance with the patient height , chest and body shape and size.
