Tuberous breasts are technically too high (abnormally high IMF), but the usual treatment is to lift the breast higher through mastopexy. I would love to avoid all of the cutting and scarring of a mastopexy and don't need perfectly round breasts. Distance from my clavicle to nipple is normal, but lower poles badly need filling.
