Plastic surgeons use eye-tracking to determine which part of women's breasts are most stared at

When looking at breasts, both men and women stare at the area around the nipples the most, plastic surgeons have determined using eye-tracking technology. The findings may help improve the outcomes of both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery by providing a more objective measure of breast aesthetics. Three quarters of'gaze time' was focused on the lower breast and nipple areas, which received the most attention from men and women, the researchers found. Furthermore, people are most likely to glance towards the so-called nipple-areola complex, which was found to be the'most common point of initial fixation'. 'Thanks to objective analysis of observer's gaze pattern, eye-tracking technology may provide a better insight into the visual perception of breast aesthetics and symmetry,' said paper author Piotr Pietruski of the Memorial Hospital, Warsaw.
