Are my breasts tuberous? Can any exercise/ massage improve their appearance (without surgery)? (Photo)

Question

I am 27 yrs old and wear 34 d size, unmarried, no pregnancy yet. I had lost weight on and off and was active in sports. I am concerned about my saggy breasts.. Will my breast size decrease after breast lift (without implants) ? After breast lift will they become unnaturally hard or fibrosed because of scar? Plss help with your expert opinion.

Thank you for the question and picture. 
Based on your photographs, you do not have breast constricted/tuberous breasts.  You do however have breast ptosis and will likely benefit from breast lifting plus/minus breast augmentation surgery. Exercise and/or massage will not be helpful.

You will do best by seeking consultation with well experienced board certified plastic surgeons. Ask to see lots of examples of their work and communicate your goals clearly. Potential risks associated with breast lifting surgery include infection, bleeding, incision line healing problems, loss/change of nipple/areola complex sensation, and blood flow related issues to causing skin or tissue necrosis. Poor scarring, pigment changes, areola/nipple asymmetry etc. are also potential problems.If breast implants are utilized, patients may experience implant related problems such as encapsulation, leakage, displacement problems ( too high, bottoming out, lateral displacement, asymmetric positioning etc.), rippling/palpability of breast implants etc. Patients may also be dissatisfied with breast size, shape, and/or how the breast implants and overlying breast tissues “interface” with one another. Occasionally, a breast implant may even have to be removed and the patient will generally be “implant free” for several months at least. There is a lot to consider before undergoing breast surgery; you may find the attached link helpful to you as you learn more. Best wishes.

There is no exercise, cream, pill or lotion that will lift your breasts. Breast lift surgery will address your sagging and though your breast volume will not decrease, your breasts may look smaller since they won't droop down so far. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Hi. Unfortunately surgery is the only answer. You do not have tuberous breasts. I think a breast lift without an implant would give you dramatic results. It will lift and tighten the breast, move the nipple into a higher position, improve the shape and reduce the size if the areolar whilst preserving your current volume. It will feel completrly normal. Regards

You do not have classic tuberous breasts.You certainly are a good candidate for breast lift surgery. This should not result in creating any unnatural hardness or firmness. If you seek more stable upper breast fullness, a small implant at the tome of the lift may be helpful.
