In 2011, Mallucci analysed the mathematical factors of attractive breasts, using 100 Page 3 models, all of whom had real breasts, as research material.
The resulting formula revealed a template for both surgeons and women considering surgery: 45 per cent of breast volume is above the nipple; the nipple points upwards at an average angle of 20 degrees; the upper half is either straight or concave, and the lower half a neat, full curve.
Evolutionary theorists call them ‘sexual ornaments’. According to academics, the human female bosom is unique among primates. While ape species have large breasts only during lactation, the same isn’t true for us.
And as they remain after menopause, they are not an indicator of fertility. So, look away now feminists... the way they look mainly serves to attract a mate.
Thus, women have always drawn attention to their busts with padding, corsetry, or simply by going topless.
Today, the boob job is the most commonly performed cosmetic surgery, with more than 10,000 British women having one last year.
And as The Mail on Sunday reported last week, British breast implant manufacturer Nagor claim one in ten patients now opts for a ‘super boob job,’ increasing their bust by four or more cup sizes in a single operation.
However, many women still want a more discreet option dubbed the ‘has she or hasn’t she’ boob job.
Miles Berry, a plastic surgeon and co-author of the Good Boob Bible, says: ‘Victoria Beckham epitomises the new trend.
'She has never admitted to surgery, but pictures show her breasts are incredibly supple and full – better than in her youth.’
Despite technological and surgical advances, there are still pitfalls when trying to choose the perfect pair. Here, experts advise how to get it just right.
