To demystify the ideal type of breast, there is no such thing as that. Whether it is small, medium or big, they are all perfect.
Changing their shape is no no. However, there is always room for improvement. Enhancing the appearance by making them look firmer and perkier is the ideal thing to do.
How can they be enhanced? Through exercising.
