Do I have tuberous breasts or do they just sag from weight loss? (Photos)

Celebrated602078
Hi I lost about 40 pounds after I went through puberty and I am 21 now and can’t tell if my breasts just sag from the weight loss or if they were tuberous all along .When my nipples are hard they look fine it’s just when they’re soft I don’t like the shape. I am fine with the size of them I just don’t like how large my areola are compared to the actual breast tissue. I am wondering if surgery is something I should save up for or if it’s not that worth it. I am thinking of just getting an areola reduction/lift but I don’t know if I should expect to pay for to fix tuberous breasts.
