More often than not, the breasts do not actually sag, but rather they have a pseudo ptosis in the postpartum period. This can be a significant flattening and collapse of the breast. True ptosis or sagging can happen before the menopause and may actually be a congenital change just like asymmetry. Implants alone may correct mild ptosis. There are several other breast size and shape anomalies that may benefit from cosmetic surgery.
Tuberous breasts get their name from being shaped like a tube.
The base of the breast is not broad-based but rather constricted so that the breast appears more like a tube than a cone. Tuberous breasts can be changed through surgery. Lack of almost any breast development, hypoplasia, is another condition that may be a familial or congenital characteristic. Hyperplasia is the opposite condition, i.e., the breasts are too large. Surgeons have corrected these conditions for many years.
