A cosmetic surgeon has found the recipe for perfect breasts. Patrick Mallucci has spent hours poring over photos of topless models in magazines and tabloid newspapers and believes he has come up with a theory for perfect breasts.

According to Mallucci, the perfect breast has a nipple that is tilted slightly upwards, and the breast should have a slightly smaller upper half than the bottom half an example of an excellent pair of breasts is model Caprice, with Victoria Beckham being an example of a poor pair of breasts, views which he claims are also held by many of his clients.

Mr. Mallucci will be presenting his findings at the first international conference on breast enlargement which is being held in London later on this week. He will give a lecture entitled, ‘Concepts in Design for Breast Augmentation’ and hopes that his results will help inspire other breast enlargement surgeons.

“I studied a wide variety of photographs of the most popular topless models to work out the various proportions they had in common and what made those particular features attractive,” Mr Mallucci explained. “These findings allowed me to form a template around which to plan a breast augmentation, and set a standard of aesthetics.

“Obviously personal interpretation and expression has to be accounted for, but this has allowed me to develop a template that I have been using successfully for some time. The key aesthetic elements are nipple position and the proportion between the upper and lower halves of the breast. The ideal is a 45 to 55 per cent proportion – that is the nipple sits not at the half-way mark down the breast, but at about 45 per cent from the top.

“All of the models I looked at conformed to these parameters. None of them were augmented and yet they were clearly considered to have beautiful breasts, so I wanted to examine how that could be achieved in someone not so well-endowed by using an implant.

“It’s about wanting to create something as close to perfection as possible.”
