Validation of Ideal Breast Characteristics with Breast Augmentation Patients (ASJ Open Forum, 2022)

Board-certified Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Daniel Gould, MD, PhD co-authored a study in Aesthetic Surgery Journal Open Forum validating key characteristics associated with ideal breast aesthetics using real patient outcomes.

The research uses crowdsourced evaluations of patient photographs to assess how closely breast augmentation results align with previously identified “ideal” proportions, finding a strong correlation between aesthetic preference and features such as breast projection, proportion, and symmetry.
