What is the Shape of the Female Breast?

Published in Human Anatomy 1 min read

The shape of the female breast varies greatly from person to person. Describing it definitively with one single shape is impossible. However, they are often categorized into general shape classifications.

Female breast shapes are diverse and influenced by genetics, age, weight fluctuations, hormonal changes, and breastfeeding history. Common categories used to describe breast shapes include:

  • Round/Archetype: Breasts that are evenly full on the top and bottom, appearing circular.

  • Teardrop: Breasts that are fuller on the bottom than the top, resembling a teardrop shape.

  • Asymmetrical: Breasts that differ in size or shape from each other. A degree of asymmetry is very common and normal.

Ultimately, there is no single "correct" or "ideal" breast shape. Variety is the norm.
