Improving Ptotic Breasts
Your breasts appear more ptotic than tubular to me.Someone with your shape would generally get the best result from a combination lift (mastopexy) and augmentation.

Ptosis or tuberous
Your breasts are a bit of both. The lower pole is short and somewhat narrow and the breasts do sag. A llift and an augmentation should do the trick.
