Research uncovers formula for perfect breast

Cosmetic surgery expert Patrick Mallucci was recently asked to analyse thousands of topless photographs to formulate a theory on the perfect breast.

According to a report in the Daily Mail on Monday, Mr Mallucci spent "many hours" at his research and will present his findings at this week’s inaugural international conference on breast enlargement.

In his report – entitled Concepts in Design for Breast Augmentation – the expert concludes that nipple position and the proportionate sizes of the upper and lower halves of the breast.

"The ideal is a 45 to 55 per cent proportion – that is the nipple sits not at the half-way mark down the breast, but at about 45 per cent from the top," he said.

Of the celebrity pictures he analysed, Me Mallucci concluded that Victoria Beckham has the worst breasts – "unnaturally round" – while model Caprice has the best.

Meanwhile, Texas surgeon John Tebbetts has told the Telegraph that breast surgery can now be performed in as little as 30 minutes.
