The breast is one of the most predominant features of a woman and stands out as a symbol of womanliness and livelihood1. The way how the breast is viewed throughout history is a direct reflection of the views of women of time and life. In European pre-historic societies, sculptures of female figures with pronounced or highly exaggerated breasts were common, symbolising fruitfulness and nourishment. A typical example is the so called Venus of Willendorf2, one of many Paleolithic Venus figurines with ample hips and bosom (fig.1). Artefacts such as bowls, rock carvings and sacred statues with breasts have been recorded from 15,000 BC up to late antiquity all across Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. In Ancient Greece there were several cults worshipping the “Kourotrophus”3, the sucking mother, represented by goddesses such as Hera and Artemis. Neverthe- less, the worship of deities symbolised by the female breast in Greece became less common during the first millennium. Classic Greek society praised masculinity and repressed femininity. Woman in art were covered or portrayed in postures that were intended to express shyness or modesty4. A popular legend at the time was that of the Amazons, a tribe of fierce female warriors who socialised with men only for procreation and even removed one breast to become better warriors (the Figure 1: Venus of Willendorf 12 Chapter I idea being that the right breast would interfere with the operation of a bow and arrow)5. With the rise of Christianity, the breasts and the flesh in general were discouraged from being exposed. Medieval Christian stories focus on the breast milk of the Virgin Mary as being the most holy and miraculous of fluids4. It was not until the fourteenth century and the Renaissance that this began to change. As people became more frivolous, clothing became more revealing, and the neckline lowered to show cleavage6. In the seventeenth century, the breast once again became the predominant center of female attractiveness, being a symbol of power and wealth6. After the French Revolution an outpour of emotional awaking occurred and inde- pendence and freedom of expression lead to a decade of naturalism where breasts became symbols for emotion and naturalism4. This symbolism is well documented in the famous painting of Eugene Delacroix (“La Liberte guidant le peuple” from 1830), in which “Liberty” is symbolised by a bare-breasted robust woman holding the “La Tricolore” (fig 2)7. When this Romanticism calmed down the proper display of the breasts and waists through corsets became an important part of fashion society4. Nevertheless, due Figure 2: “La Liberte guidant le people”, Eugene Delacroix 1830 Introduction and aims of this thesis 13 to the physical restrictions of women by corsets, there was a growing opposition to this phenomenon at the turn of the century. During World War I women’s roles in the work force increased. In 1919 women acquired the right to vote in the United States and there was a growing belief that women were able to do almost anything a man could do. Therefore breasts as a sign of femininity were bided down to emphasise the less gender based roles in the society4. After the chaos of World War II, people again looked for stability and fertility. Therefore the female breasts once again became popular as a symbol for prosperity. During the rise of motion pictures big breasts were viewed as symbol of sexuality in contrast to small breasts, which were associated with upper class sophistication and wit. Based on this a period of rebellion started in the 1960’s and 70’s. One of the best- known aspects of the early Women’s Liberation Movement those days was the “bra burning”8, a form of liberation to make men face up to the reality of the breast by freeing it from it’s fantasy underpinnings. This symbolic act was meant as a serious criticism of the modern beauty culture, of valuing women for their looks instead of their whole self. When the hippie era calmed down, perfection of the body became an ideal, which was reflected by its frequent use in advertising. Large breasts came back in fashion and woman started to use breast implants to enlarge their breasts6. Nowadays large breasts emphasise gender differences, femininity and womanhood, reflected by a constantly increasing of number of aesthetic breast surgeries. Meaning of the breast As history reflects, the cultural significance of the breast revolves around its use as a symbol both of fertility and sexual pleasure. Many women regard breasts as an important female secondary sex characteristics, and a factor in the sexual at- tractiveness of a woman9. For Freud, the breast was the first erogenous zone, from which a child should move on to the anal and genital stages of it’s developing sexuality. The baby’s complete satisfaction at it’s mother’s breast led to an identification with the mother, after which the baby needed to develop a sense of itself as a separate being. In adult life, a person therefore longs for the perfect pleasure of the breast, which has been taken away10. Beside this analytic point of view, the media is obsessed with portraying the “perfect body”: being thin and having perfectly shaped breasts. Women seeking to 14 Chapter I reach this ideal are at risk of feeling uncomfortable to the extend of suffering from low self esteem and therefore disturbed body image. This might induce an impair- ment in psychological well being, social life and disturbed relationships resulting in a decreased quality of life11. Disorders of the breast Anomalies 1. Polythelia/Athelia Accessory nipples appear along the natural mammary lines between the axilla and the groin. In contrast in case of athelia the nipples are imperfect or incompletely developed. This developmental breast abnormality affects slightly less than 2% of women and less than 1% of men around the world. The absence of the nipple- areola complex is often associated with other anomalies12,13,14. 2. Polymastia/Amastia Polymastia is a so called accessory breast, supernumerary breasts or mammae er- raticae12,13. Athelia as well as amastia might be associated with congenital anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, additional musculoskeletal abnormalities or dermoid cysts15. In 1841, Poland described a congenital deficiency of the Pectoralis Major and Minor muscles associated with syndactyly. This syndrome is a spectrum, often involving chest wall and breast deformity as well16. 3. Gynecomastia Gynecomastia is a benign enlargement of male breast glandular tissue. At least a third of males are affected at some time during their lifetime. Idiopathic causes exceed other aetiologies and relate to an imbalance in the ratio of oestrogen to androgen tissue levels or end-organ responsiveness to these hormones17. 4. Breast Hypertrophy The hypertrophy of the breast is an abnormal enlargement of the mammary tissue. There are many varieties including gigantomastia18, virginal breast hypertrophy19, juvenile gigantomastia20,21 and secondary breast hypertrophy22,23. There are a variety of hypertrophic conditions, which can affect women at various times in their lives. Hypertrophy can affect both breasts equally or only one breast causing asymmetry issues. The condition usually produces psychological and physical effects includ- ing: antisocial behaviour, introversion, lack of confidence, insecurity, fear, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, chronic fatigue and mal-posture as well as back pain; among others24-26. No definition exists what size or weight of a female breast is necessary to declare it to be hypertrophic27. Introduction and aims of this thesis 15 5. Breast Hypoplasia Micromastia is the post-pubertal underdevelopment of a woman’s breast tissue. Just as it is impossible to define ‘normal’ breast size, there is no objective defini- tion of hypoplasia of the breast. It might be a congenital defect, related to trauma or it may be a more subjective aesthetic description. Self perceived micromastia involves a discrepancy between a person’s body image, and her internalised images of appropriate or desirable breast size and shape28. 6. Asymmetrical breasts Breast asymmetry occurs due to developmental differences29, congenital deformi- ties, trauma or surgery 7. Tuberous breasts The tuberous breast deformity is described as a result from aplasia of one or more quadrants of the breast as well as skin shortage and herniation of breast tissue through the nipple-areola complex30.

  • Clinical and Imaging Evaluation of Nipple Discharge
    REVIEW ARTICLE Evaluation of Nipple Discharge Clinical and Imaging Evaluation of Nipple Discharge Yi-Hong Chou, Chui-Mei Tiu*, Chii-Ming Chen1 Nipple discharge, the spontaneous release of fluid from the nipple, is a common presenting finding that may be caused by an underlying intraductal or juxtaductal pathology, hormonal imbalance, or a physiologic event. Spontaneous nipple discharge must be regarded as abnormal, although the cause is usually benign in most cases. Clinical evaluation based on careful history taking and physical examination, and observation of the macroscopic appearance of the discharge can help to determine if the discharge is physiologic or pathologic. Pathologic discharge can frequently be uni-orificial, localized to a single duct and to a unilateral breast. Careful assessment of the discharge is mandatory, including testing for occult blood and cytologic study for malignant cells. If the discharge is physiologic, reassurance of its benign nature should be given. When a pathologic discharge is suspected, the main goal is to exclude the possibility of carcinoma, which accounts for only a small proportion of cases with nipple discharge. If the woman has unilateral nipple discharge, ultrasound and mammography are frequently the first investigative steps. Cytology of the discharge is routine. Ultrasound is particularly useful for localizing the dilated duct, the possible intraductal or juxtaductal pathology, and for guidance of aspiration, biopsy, or preoperative wire localization. Galactography and magnetic resonance imaging can be selectively used in patients with problematic ultrasound and mammography results. Whenever there is an imaging-detected nodule or focal pathology in the duct or breast stroma, needle aspiration cytology, core needle biopsy, or excisional biopsy should be performed for diagnosis.

Breast abscesses are less common, however when they do develop, delays in specialist referral may occur due to lack of clear protocols. In secondary care abscesses can be diagnosed by ultrasound scan and in the past the management has been dependent on the receiving surgeon. Management options include aspiration under local anesthetic or more invasive incision and drainage (I&D). Over recent years the availability of bedside/clinic based ultrasound scan has made diagnosis easier and minimally invasive procedures have become the cornerstone of breast abscess management. We review the diagnosis and management of breast infection in the primary and secondary care setting, highlighting the importance of early referral for severe infection/breast abscesses. As a clear guideline on the manage- ment of breast infection is lacking, this review provides useful guidance for those who rarely see breast infection to help avoid long-term morbidity.

  • Breast Augmentation Using Preexpansion and Autologous Fat Transplantation: a Clinical Radiographic Study
    COSMETIC Breast Augmentation Using Preexpansion and Autologous Fat Transplantation: A Clinical Radiographic Study Daniel A. Del Vecchio, Background: Despite the increased popularity of fat grafting of the breasts, M.D., M.B.A. there remain unanswered questions. There is currently no standard for tech- Louis P. Bucky, M.D. nique or data regarding long-term volume maintenance with this procedure. Boston, Mass.; and Philadelphia, Pa. Because of the sensitive nature of breast tissue, there is a need for radiographic evaluation, focusing on volume maintenance and on tissue viability. This study was designed to quantify the long-term volume maintenance of mature adi- pocyte fat grafting for breast augmentation using recipient-site preexpansion. Methods: This is a prospective examination of 25 patients in 46 breasts treated with fat grafting for breast augmentation from 2007 to 2009. Indications in- cluded micromastia, postexplantation deformity, tuberous breast deformity, and Poland syndrome. Preexpansion using the BRAVA device was used in all patients. Fat was processed using low–g-force centrifugation. Patients had pre- operative and 6-month postoperative three-dimensional volumetric imaging and/or magnetic resonance imaging to quantify breast volume. Results: All women had a significant increase in breast volume (range, 60 to 200 percent) at 6 months, as determined by magnetic resonance imaging (n ϭ 12), and all had breasts that were soft and natural in appearance and feel. Magnetic resonance imaging examinations postoperatively revealed no new oil cysts or breast masses. Conclusions: Preexpansion of the breast allows for megavolume (Ͼ300 cc) grafting with reproducible, long-lasting results that can be achieved in less than 2 hours.
