How Accurate is the Pencil or Ruler Test for Ptosis?

aac1128
I'm a 37 year old mother of 2 breasted children who currently lost 22 lbs. I am interested in an augmentation and/or lift to put back what I have lost! Three weeks ago, I visited a PS who immediately after looking at me said I needed an anchor lift. I went home a tried the ruler under my crease. My left nipple,is above the ruler, and my right is ever so slightly in line with the ruler. How can I need an anchor lift? I would be more open to a crescent, benelli or lollipop. Any advice?
