I want to fix the shape of my breasts so that they are round and the nipple is more centered, but I don’t want to add much size. I was considering a breast lift only, but a surgeon told me my results would look “masculine” and “like a man with pec muscles.” I also was looking into a lift with a fat transfer, but I was told I don’t have enough fat.
