Abstract in brief

  • The study aimed to find the most aesthetically preferred position for the nipple-areola complex (NAC) on the breast to guide reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, using a survey of 813 men and women aged 16-74 who ranked images of breasts with different NAC placements.
  • Results showed that the preferred NAC position is generally in the middle of the breast vertically and slightly lateral horizontally, with some differences based on age and gender groups.
  • This research provides valuable guidance for surgeons by identifying the ideal NAC placement, which can improve aesthetic outcomes in breast surgery.]
