The breasts of the women have major cosmetic aspect on the body. In the cases of the abnormal sized and shaped breasts, breast reconstruction or reduction mammoplasty are needed. In these operation, new nipple site and areolar diameter should be determined prior to surgery.
The authors measured the physical constitution (height, weight, chest circumference) and the nipple site and areolar diameter in 215 nulliparous women.
Statistical analysis of these results shows close correlation between the physical constitutions and the breast measurements. So the authors could induce the equations, which calculate the estimated normal values of nipple site and areolar diameter in relation to body constitutions.
The results are as follows;
1. Mean values of nipple site and areolar diameter
a. Midclavicular point to nipple
18.37±1.80 cm in Rt. 18.35±1.77 cm in Lt.
b. Sternal notch to nipple
18.34±1.86 cm in Rt. 18.44±1.96 cm in Lt.
c. Distance between nipples
17.65±1.49 cm
d. Areolar diameter
2.80±0.66 cm in Rt. 2.80±0.65 cm in Lt.
2. Regression equations of breat measurements in relation to body constitutions(height and weight)
a. Midclavicular point to nipple (cm)
= -0.0829 ×height (cm) ＋ 0.2448 ×weight (Kg) ＋ 19.46
b. Sternal notch to nipple (cm)
= -0.1086 ×height (cm) ＋ 0.2394 ×weight (Kg) ＋ 23.86
c. Distance between nipples (cm)
= -0.0212 ×height (cm) ＋ 0.0499 ×weight (Kg) ＋ 19.53
d. Areolar diameter (cm)
= -0.0212 ×height (cm) ＋ 0.0499 ×weight (Kg) ＋ 3.71
