Breasts as synonyms of femininity and attractiveness
Plastic breast surgery
Options for surgically enhancing attractiveness and correcting imperfections of breasts
Asked why a woman has breasts, we answer, instinctively and without much hesitation, they are there to feed children. Indeed, production of from mid-pregnancy, to become a baby’s natural food for months after birth, is the most obvious and basic function of the mammary gland. It’s no secret, however, breasts play an important role not only in the context of nursing a little human being. The bosom is synonymous with femininity and beauty and its appearance, in particular, its size is identified with attractiveness of the fair sex. Large breasts are assumed to draw the male gaze and give rise to men’s interest in women. This is probably related to instinct, since a woman with a large bosom is associated with fertility and expected to potentially feed a number of progeny. Men, meanwhile, asked what lovely breasts should be like and what draws their attention, state an ideal bosom is not only ample but also symmetrical, shapely, with a firm and smooth skin, and colour of its nipples clearly distinct form the rest of the gland they are on. As a matter of fact, specialists have determined such ideal breast parameters as: weight, shape, size, diameter, position and size of a nipple. In reality, an ideal female beauty is clearly individual and dependent on the Patient’s figure as well as her interior, personality, and her own sense of beauty. Many women are actually dissatisfied with the appearance of their bosoms, often with its contours or size. This is most likely the reason why the breast enhancement is one of the most popular chest surgeries. Not all ladies want to have an ample bosom, though, preferring it to be proportional, youthful, firm, and displaying a full cleavage. It should be pointed out too large mammary glands are faster to lose their shape and begin drooping, harder to choose the right bra for, and their weight may cause back pains.
Changing canons of beauty
Interest in the particular body parts, canons of beauty, and preferred breast sizes have not been constant in the past. We can learn about it from historical records or by contemplating works of art from different times. Looking at the Venus of Willendorf, a naked female figure made in the Palaeolithic era, one can only guess the ideal woman had a generous figure and very ample bosom. A beautiful lady was slim in ancient Egypt. In ancient Rome, meanwhile, women were said not to desire big breasts and bound them with bandages to stop them growing. Baroque paintings tell us more rounded shaped and prominent bosoms were the rule then. Breasts must have been major feminine attributes in the Renaissance, too, as many pictures show breastfeeding mothers. In the 20th century, ideals of beauty changed nearly every decade. The contemporary times seem to advertise a slim figure, yet they allow freedom of choice. Everyone is able to decide which asset of their looks they want to highlight, what they want to correct, and ladies can decide what their bosom looks like themselves.
The natural breast size and shape are decided not only by genetics but also hormones like: progesterone, prolactin, oestrogens or oxitocin. Their levels fluctuate during your life. This has considerable impact on structure of the mammary gland. The internal anatomy of a bosom is different in a pubescent teenager, in a menstruating, pregnant and breastfeeding, and a menopausal woman. Bosoms of younger ladies are firmer and more shapely, built with more glandular tissue. More fatty tissue occurs in breasts of a mature woman to replace glandular tissue, which is one of the reasons for drooping bosoms that lose their original form.
Health, beauty, and care
Breasts should be looked after both to prevent diseases and to preserve their natural beauty and attractiveness. An appropriate diet and drinking more water will help keep your bosom in good shape. Breasts will be firm for longer if they are fostered with exercise, massage, cool showers, and properly selected brassieres. Their surface will be flexible and smooth if it’s moisturised with caring agents suitable to a woman’s age and her skin condition.
Breasts, like other organs, may fall ill. Regular medical examinations are so important, therefore. Of course, women liable to a greater risk of breast cancer have a little different schedule of such preventive testing. Diagnostics of this gland should be treated as cancer prevention and undertaken not only when worrying symptoms are apparent like pain or palpable nipple follicles, surface changes or leakage.
Preventive breast testing is designed for the purpose of early detection of conditions that normally don’t require complicated treatment at their initial stages. Structural irregularities of the breast gland vary, with approximately 80% of them benign. Most common lesions of this organ include cysts, fibroadenomas, papillary tumours, and breast cancers. They may arise in women of any age and their causes can be found in a number of areas like: hormonal balance, tendency to inherited diseases, or unsanitary lifestyle. Any worrying symptoms in the breast gland must be consulted with a specialist not only in view of the rising incidence of breast cancer, the most frequent malignant tumour of the fair sex in Poland, but also because an early diagnosis and prompt treatment result in faster recovery.
Potential for surgical enhancement to attractiveness of breast glands and correcting their imperfections
Plastic breast surgeries enjoy growing popularity both internationally and in Poland. Most frequent procedures are designed to emphasise beauty and correct imperfections within the chest. A woman dissatisfied with the appearance of her breast, both its shape and size, wishing to highlight its attractiveness or who has lost all or part of this gland to cancer can take advantage of the enormous possibilities of plastic surgery. Breast enhancement is the best known and most popular plastic chest surgery. A cup can be enlarged with implants or autogenous fatty tissue transplants. Drooping, misshapen breasts can be modelled by reducing their volume or a surgical breast lifting. Women who have lost their glands to cancer and mastectomy can resort to the technique of breast reconstruction with implants or skin flaps from other regions of their bodies as well as with their own fat transplants. Ladies who have had one breast removed while the other is healthy and generous can undergo the novel technique of breast sharing. Plastic surgery is of assistance not only to females desiring to change the appearance of their breasts but also to young boys and men suffering from gynecomastia or breast gland hypertrophy.
One can note a plastic breast surgery does not increase the risk of chest cancers. Augmented breasts can be exposed to imaging diagnostic tests as implants should not generate artefacts in their image. A breast surgically corrected with any of these techniques should be subject to regular preventive examinations. All ladies, including those who have not enjoyed the broad range of opportunities offered by plastic surgery, are encouraged to undergo such exams.
