According to todays Style section of the Sunday Times aesthetic surgeons have decreed that the perfect breast has 45% of tissue above the nipple and 55% below. DH is measuring mine later. Please post your results here and I shall publish my research as a learned paper. grin

Not sure how to work this out. Are the surgeons working on a linear skin measurement or volume? Given the irregular shape of breasts, neither rectangular nor circular the calculations needed are quite complex.

I discussed the issue with DH, an engineer, he says he is quite prepared to undertake the extensive investigations that may be necessary to reach an accurate and reliable result grin

I have visions of one of those cartoons with the wrinkly old girl whose nipples are in line with her pants gringrin 95 % above 5% below.
No, I'm not looking in the mirror.

Not sure about above and below the nipple but mine are East and West of my breast bone especially when lying down
