Follow-up to previous question: What's the difference between tuberous breasts and regular, saggy breasts? (Photos)

December 24, 2015
Asked By:AlieB94 in Sarasota, FL

A few doctors who replied said it doesn't look like I have tuberous breasts. I was wondering what the difference between tuberous breasts and regular saggy breasts are? And if I don't have tuberous breasts, why does the underside look constricted and doesn't have as much skin? Also, all the doctors said a mastopexy would be a good choice for me. I was wondering if there's any other way to get a lift without having scars(or very minimal scarring).Do I have enough breast tissue already to have the look I was going for or would I need a fat graft as well?
