Science Pursues Ideal Breast Proportions With Strong Consensus Among Men, Women and Doctors

British researchers now conclude in a study in the September issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgerythat Tom Ford probably knows what he’s talking about. The doctors surveyed 1,315 men, women and plastic surgeons, asking them to look at multiple breasts photos and pick their preferred proportions. In a world where unanimity — let alone general agreement — on any topic is impossible to achieve, all three groups picked the same ratio: 45:55, meaning that 45 percent of breast tissue falls above the nipple line and 55 percent below.
