s always been an expression of beauty, femininity and sensuality, breasts are usually considered by their size: small, large, enormous... And yet the shape, which is seldom talked about, can sometimes make all the difference. Below we have classified some of the most common shapes. Which one do you recognise yourself in?

- The champagne glass breast, they say is the perfect one, neither too small nor too large, toned and resistant to gravity. Legend has it that the champagne glass was modelled on Marie Antoinette's perfect breast.

- The pear-shaped breast is a very common conformation with the nipples protruding outwards, resembling the shape of a pear. A famous example is that of Marilyn Monroe.

- The bud breast, is the small breast, a first size in short. it is common in very thin and petite women, often in models.

- The apple breast is round and toned, the perfect shape to be achieved with an augmentation mammaplasty.

- The large breast is a large breast, from a third C upwards. It has a naturally elongated shape at the bottom.

- Droopy breasts are usually large and, precisely because they have to support a lot of weight, they acquire a shape that tends downwards.

When the size and shape of the breasts do not satisfy us, one can resort to cosmetic medicine or surgery.

In the first case, it is possible to intervene without the use of implants and a scalpel, without undergoing surgery in short. A widely used type of surgery that gives satisfactory and natural results is lipofilling, which consists of transplanting adipose tissue taken from another area of the body and transplanted into the breast. As we have already explained in another article, it is an intervention, although non-invasive, to be carefully evaluated with one's doctor, as it can sometimes cause difficulties in diagnosis.

Aesthetic surgery, on the other hand, is a little more invasive but allows definitive, satisfactory and always natural results. The main operations are: additive mastoplasty, which consists of increasing the volume thanks to the insertion of implants, reduction mastoplasty, which, on the other hand, reduces the size of a breast that is too bulky, and mastopexy, which is the reshaping of a breast that is sagging and drooping.
