As the summer begins to bring more and more scantily
clad women outdoors, now is as good a time as ever for men to see breasts. Step
foot on any beach this season and you’re bound to catch sight of at least one
perfect* pair, nestled freely in a woman’s bikini with nary a sweater or parka
to shield them from the world.
But we designate perfect with an asterisk
because, let’s face it, we’ve all seen women with breasts that are a little too
textbook. According to stats from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons,
more than 290,000 women had breast augmentations in 2013 alone—meaning there
are plenty of silicon-stuffed twins out there just waiting for guys to debate
their authenticity.
That’s where we come in. With the help of
Norman Rowe, M.D., a renowned New York City plastic surgeon, we’ve put together
a handy how-to guide that you can use to tell if a woman’s breasts are bogus
just by looking at them.
1. They’re Too Close to Each Other
Most women’s breasts have 2 to 3 inches of
space in between them, but implants shrink that gap significantly. If it looks
like hers are touching in the middle, they’re likely fake. “When doctors put in
implants, most of the time they’ll just pop them in and set the breasts very
close to each other, near the midline of the chest,” says Dr. Rowe.
2. They’re Too High Up
Another dead giveaway: her breasts are set too
high on her chest. Usually, they should sit right around where the armpits are,
but a botched boob job when implants are placed in from the armpits can make
the breasts ride up higher, Dr. Rowe says. This is easier to see when women are
wearing swimsuits, because padded pushup bras also lift up breasts.
3. They Look Like Cantaloupes
“Natural breasts are shaped like pears or
teardrops, but if hers look more like big, round melons, that’s a telltale sign
they’re fake,” says Dr. Rowe. That’s because unlike real breasts, which are
naturally fuller on the bottom, implants are evenly distributed with silicon or
saline from top to bottom, creating a perfectly round shape.
4. You Can Spot Scars
Plastic surgeons generally use four access
points on the body to put in implants, all of which leave scars: The belly
button (look for a scar about half an inch up from it, toward the abdomen); the
inframammary crease between the breasts and chest (leaving two symmetrical
scars at the bottom of the breasts); around the nipples (but she’d have to be
topless for you to see it); and the armpits, which leave the most noticeable
scars. “If a woman’s wearing a tank top and she lifts her arms up, look for
2-inch scars under her armpits on either side,” says Dr. Rowe. And unlike the
belly button, which could be an incision point for other surgeries like appendectomies,
not too many other surgeons use the armpit for other procedures, he says.
5. You Can Hear Sloshing
You might need bionic ears (or just a quiet
room) for this one to work, but here’s a sign you can actually hear instead of
seeing: Women with saline implants—an alternative to silicon—will sometimes
give off a “sloshing” sound when they move side to side. That’s probably the
result of the surgeon filling up the implant once it was inside the woman’s
breast. “If the implant doesn’t fill up all the way with saline, it creates an
air pocket, which is audible. It’s not something you’d notice on a woman
walking down the street, but you can definitely hear it in an intimate
setting,” Dr. Rowe says. So listen up.
