Scalpel News
By Joan Kron
Natural-Looking Breasts
Natural-Looking Breasts Breast implants come in variations on two basic shapes: round and teardrop. To find out which looks more natural, a study from Israel recruited 15 women with each type. (Unlike standard silicone-filled implants, the thicker, cohesive-gel implants used in this study are not FDA-approved, though they could be cleared this year.) A group of 235 other women were asked to judge photographs of the test subjects' enhanced breasts. The women's breasts were considered attractive regardless of implant shape, but, overall, those with round implants were rated most natural-looking and deemed to have "proper fullness" on the top of the breast. Judgment by 11 male plastic surgeons was similar -- but when the doctors were asked if they could tell which of the women had round implants and which had teardrop-shaped, their average correct score was only 55 percent. The authors concluded, therefore, that either shape can look natural when the surgery is performed by an experienced doctor.
