Popis: It is a widespread belief that a woman’s physical and mental well-being can be influenced by the dimension, shape, and symmetry of her breasts. In fact, an excessively large or excessively small breast can determine in women an alteration in the perception of their body image, a reduction in their self-esteem, and in worst cases a degeneration of social relationships in both public and private spheres. Moreover, women with breasts that are excessively large compared to the rest of the body are often limited in choice of clothes and in their lifestyle. Not to mention the fact that an excessively large breast can make it difficult to perform some sports or even many of the daily life activities, which are eventually substituted by sedentary activities, creating a vicious circle and contributing to patients’ isolation. The dimension of a woman’s breast influences her life style and her personal and professional choices.
