Introduction
Under normal circumstances, the chest is medically referred to as the breast. The breast is one of the important sexual characteristics in human females and is primarily composed of the nipple, mammary gland tissue, and associated glandular structures. Positioned symmetrically on the left and right sides of the chest, the adult female breast typically has a hemispherical shape. The nipple, cylindrical in form, is located centrally and surrounded by an area of skin that ranges in color from light pink to reddish, containing sebaceous glands; this pigmented area is known as the areola.

In general, the chest is medically referred to as the breast. The breast is one of the key sexual characteristics in human females and primarily consists of the nipple, mammary gland tissue, and associated glandular structures. Positioned symmetrically on the left and right sides of the chest, adult female breasts typically have a hemispherical shape, with cylindrical nipples located centrally. The surrounding skin, which may appear light red and contains sebaceous glands, is known as the areola. The breast is an essential part of the female body, serving important physiological functions and also influencing a woman's appearance and self-confidence to a significant extent. For those seeking breast augmentation, medical aesthetic options include autologous fat transfer, implant-based augmentation, and composite breast augmentation.
