A new study published in the Brazilian Journal of Plastic Surgery found that both men and women overwhelmingly preferred symmetrical, proportional breasts over larger ones, a finding researchers say should guide cosmetic surgeons away from the "bigger is better" assumption.

The students then selected which shape they found most attractive and rated preferences for nipple and areola placement and…Open
