Evidence of obsession
with the feminine breast can be seen in all ages - from cave paintings to
the modern fashion industry. Kinsey observed in the 1940s that women’s breasts
could inspire more sexual arousal in men than the female sex organ.
The female breast is a universal symbol of sexuality, motherhood and femininity.
Breast operations have
comprised a large part of aesthetic surgery since its inception.
Breast operations, and especially breast augmentations, also receive more
attention in the media than other forms of aesthetic surgery. Much is written
from time to time, and unfortunately not all of it is objective. There are
many mistaken notions that need to be set straight by factual information
- and this part of the book is therefore more detailed than the others.
