Breast shapes

As faces of people are different, so also are breasts.

No two women will have identical breasts.

The size and shape of the breasts depends upon genetic factors, regionalism, diet, climate and several other factors.

Though there are several variations of breasts, some types can be classified broadly as follows:-


Common abnormalities

Though these are the main breast shapes seen around, they are not in the least all. There are several variations even in the above types of breasts. Some abnormalities in breasts are also common.

Given below are some common abnormalities that are observed in breasts:-

  1. Many women have asymmetrical breasts. The asymmetry may be only in the shape and size of the breast, or it may also be seen in the shape and size of the nipple and the areola.
  2. Some women may have hair around their nipples.
  3. Some women may have inverted nipples.


Common Breast Types (shapes)

(i) Perfect Breasts - The perfect breast shape is quite a rarity. In both medicine and esthetics, the perfect breast shape is the one in which the nipple points outwards, parallel to the ground. There should be no sag and the breast should be supple and well-toned.

(ii) Swooping Breasts - This shape is the one in which the breast slightly bends inwards above the areola. There is no sag however. Due to the bending of the breast, the nipple points upwards, inclined to the vertical.

(iii) Saggy or Ptotic breasts - Saggy breasts are commonly found in women as their age advances. These breasts droop downwards, causing the nipple to be pointed downwards too. Saggy breasts may have more or little volume, depending on the amount of fat tissues in them.

(iv) Small Breasts - Small breasts are breasts that have very little volume of fatty tissue in them. Small breasts also have small nipples and areolas. There is very little substance between the nipples and the pectoral muscles.

(v) Tubular or Constricted Breasts - These are actually a defective breast shape which may be cause due to hernia in the breast tissue. They are visible as tubular or narrow cylindrical in shape, with very small nipples and areolas. Their base is also small, and the two breasts may be far apart.

(vi) Augmented Breasts - These are a severe condition of tubular breasts. There are visible anomalies in the shape of the breasts.

(vii) Pectus carinatum or Pigeon Breasts - These are severely deformed breasts which lie almost flat on the chest. They do not look like breasts at all. These are caused due to a congenital defect.

All of you are not understanding a simple fact that is about Google Adsense Terms and Hubpages program policies. I could have posted more pictures of close-up views of naked breasts. I can't do that for the reason told above, and also I can't provide links here. Sorry for the inconvenience!!!

I have Tubular or Constricted Breasts and I hate it very much. I wish to have surgery but i cannot pay for it, maybe one day. It is a very big deal when you as a woman do not feel like you are like other women. As a guy would feel if they had something different with their "man hood". women also lose pride in themselves. I myself feel like a freak, like i have deformed total messed breasts, and i did not ask for it, i was born with it. whether the case be like mine or be caused form cancer or whatever, no woman deserves to live in fear for someone seeing their breasts or wanting to be close with them. i fear anything to do with showing my breasts. idky i shared this but maybe it will be helpful for someone?

Big Bulging Breasts are excellent beauty marks for women. Every man first looks at the woman's breasts and he repeats his starring looks at the same spot if the woman's breasts are very beautifully bulging.Bulging breasts like those of Namitha Kapoor are simply excellent. There are some men who are fond of hanging breasts and loose breasts. Some men prefer tight and big braets. Some men prefer loose and soft breasts. Some prefer the biggest sized breasts so that they can enjoy her breasts by squeezing a single breast with his two hands. Punjabi women have the biggest bulging size breasts in India next to Bengali women. Last comes the Tamil women breasts. Kerala women's breasts are also excellently shaped and tempting breasts.
