Do I Have Tubular Breast or Ptosis? (photo)

Do I Have Tubular Breast or Ptosis?

Well, you certainly have ptosis. The two diagnoses are not mutually exclusive. Whether or no you have a tubular breast depends on a number of factors, but the main ones are constriction, or missing lower pole breast tissue, which I don't see in these photos, and a high breast fold which I also do not see. To get you a good result you would need surgery to lift the areolae, a breast lift, most likely with an anchor pattern at least on the left. To equalize the size, either enlarge one (or... more
