Are pendulous breasts the same as tuberous breasts & at what point of growth is it clear the type of breasts a woman will have?

Asked By:finally lighter in Los Angeles, CA

When I went for my first breast reduction consultation I was told I have pendulum breasts. Until I found this site I had never heard of tuberous breast syndrome. My daughter is 11 and already forming large breasts for her age. At this point, they are cute and perfect, how will I know if hers will become pendulous like mine and is there anything I can do to help prevent it for her?
