dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Breast tissue has different composition, density, projection, position and shape among population. In literature, there are many studies that discuss the aesthetic shape or the anthropometry of breast tissue. But there is not much study which tries to find out the aesthetic perception of population. In this study we would like to find out Turkish people's aesthetic perception of the breast. Materials and Methods: This study was performed through a web site 'www.breastsurvey.net'. Nine demographic questions were asked to the participants (age, gender, education, monthly income, profession, marital status, number of children, city and country). Then the participants were asked to choose one from the 20 draw-arts, which range from AA to D cup size (AA, A, B, C, D) and from 38 to 44mm (38-40-42-44) areola. Breast sizes are calculated and drawn according to the EN13402 European Union Standard. Results: Four hundred and thirty seven people participated in our survey. Two hundred and four of them were male and 233 of them were female. D cup size was mostly preferred with a percentage of 70% among males. Similarly, D cup size was mostly preferred among female participants with a percentage of 40%. D cup size's popularity did not change in other subgroups (such as age, gender, education, monthly income, profession, marital status, number of children, city), either. Conclusion: If the breast shape is 'aesthetically perfect', bigger cup sizes (like 'D') are preferred in Turkish population regardless of socio-economic status. . In other words, the bigger is the better, in case it is beautiful.en_US
