Do I Have Tuberous Breast Deformity and Do I Need a Breast Lift? (photo)

Hi I'm an 18yr old girl from Melbourne, Aus.

Tuberous breasts and breast lift

Based on your pictures, I would agree that a breast lift would be in order for you. A breast lift would give you a perkier look to your breasts and would also decrease the diameter of your areola on each side. It will NOT decrease the space between your breasts. That is a function of the width of your chest bone. The trade-off is that you would have scars on your breasts from the breast lift procedure.
