If the Lord had not created the female breast, I would not have started painting!

P. O. Renoir

For a long time, no one doubts the fact that sexual attractiveness is the most important factor determining the quality of human life. And not only women. Artists and luminaries of medicine, psychologists and connoisseurs are unanimous in their opinion: it is the breast that is the main criterion for female beauty and the object of admiration. And beauty belongs to everyone. Therefore, it is no wonder that mammoplasty is breaking all records today. Cosmetic surgeries to correct the shape and size of the breasts bring multi-million dollar profits to clinics. But the result is often not what patients expect. After all, the size and shape of the breast is not everything.

Perfect breasts are impossible without a perfect areola. And this issue today cannot be solved without aesthetic dermopigmentation.

More than 70% of all plastic surgeries in the world are on the chest.

A bit of history

The first attempts to increase the breast surgically were recorded at the end of the 19th century. Ordinary paraffin, vegetable and animal fats were used as a filler, which led to severe complications, up to death.

The cult of the large bust, which is widespread in our days, has not always been reflected in the history of art. Samples of the fine arts of the ancient Egyptians unambiguously indicate that then, despite the cult of fertility, the trend was almost flat chest.

The ancient Greek ideal is rounded breasts the size of a palm.

In ancient Rome, large breasts were considered attractive, but being too large was the subject of ridicule by poets, as in one story about a woman with a magnificent bust who had to pay for three tickets to the baths. So understand them now.

In the era of the early Middle Ages, the almost complete absence of breasts was considered the ideal. An example was the nuns who fasted for years, proving their piety. This pious ideal of beauty implied that large breasts were something sinful and in need of correction.

EDP to help

For more than a decade, the most popular service in the field of aesthetic dermopigmentation (EDT) has been the areola tattoo after surgery. When planning breast surgery, plastic surgeons all over the world include in their “work plan” a visit by a client to a permanent makeup master, so that the traces of this very intervention are reliably hidden from the uninitiated.

There is nothing surprising. No matter how delicate surgical intervention is, it does not pass without a trace for the body, including for the skin, on which scars inevitably remain, the nature of which has already been written a lot.
