Abstract

The article presents the results of the study on the frequency of occurrence of various forms of mammary glands in indigenous and non-ethnic women in Yakutia who are between the ages of 20 to 40 years. The morphological characteristic of forms and the relative frequency of their occurrence were studied in two groups. It was revealed that the round shape of the mammary glands in women of indigenous group was most common in the range of 20-25 and 31-35 years of age, the conical shape - 26-30 years of age, the wide form prevailed in women older than 36 years of age. Bilateral asymmetry was often found in non-indigenous women who had the conical shape of mammary glands. The obtained data has comparative value and can serve as a basis for the selection of breast implants during reconstructive cosmetic interventions.
