　　What kind of breasts are called sagging?

　　Let’s first define breast ptosis. The intersection between the lower edge of the breast and the surface of the trunk is called the inframammary fold. Under normal circumstances, especially in young women, the horizontal position of the nipple is above the inframammary fold. If it falls below it, it is called breast ptosis. The more severe the sagging, the lower it will fall.

　　There are generally three types of sagging breasts: spindle-shaped breasts, triangle-shaped breasts, and horn-shaped breasts.

　　Spindle breast ptosis is breast ptosis characterized by shortening of the transverse diameter of the breast base. The rounded coronal surface at the base of the breast is smaller than the coronal surface at the distal end of the breast, resembling a spindle, hence the name spindle breast ptosis. This kind of breast sagging deformity is caused by the herniation of breast tissue into the subcutaneous area of ​​the areola, and is often combined with large areola syndrome. It is more common in young and middle-aged women after breastfeeding.

　　Triangular scarf-shaped breast sagging means that the entire breast is flat, like a triangular scarf hanging on the chest wall, hence the name. The coronal surface of the breast base is oblong, the longitudinal diameter of the breast is larger than the transverse diameter, and there is no obvious breast tissue herniation falling into the subcutaneous area of ​​the areola. More common in middle-aged and elderly women, especially menopause women after.

　　The coronal surface of the base of the breast and the distal coronal surface of the saggy horn-shaped breast are basically equal, or the distal end is slightly smaller, the longitudinal diameter of the breast is longer, the nipple is located under the breast line, the appearance is like a horn, the fibrous and fatty tissue in the breast is relatively increased, the breast tissue is less, and the breast feels denser. skin The elasticity is better. This type of breast sagging is more common in young people. female。
