Abstract
Since time immemorial, the breast has been a primordial characteristic of female identity. The size, shape, consistency and occasionally the function of the breast have assumed great importance both for the patient herself and for her admirers. Attention has been focussed on this region of the anatomy by the entertainment, advertising and fashion media, which play a large part in determining the norms and dreams of modern society. In the western world, as recently as the late 1960s we witnessed a swing away from the voluptuous full figure to the smaller breasted figure led by models such as Twiggy. Throughout the world there are variations with regard to breast size and shape and these differences tend to be associated with the styles of dress commonly worn in different countries.
