There are degrees in the severity of the loss of shape (or "ptosis") that is present from one patient to another and sometimes between breasts of the same patient. Pseudoptosis: The nipple is at a normal position but the breast has fallen out below it. This can happen after a breast augmentation where the pectoralis muscle has been released at the bottom of the pocket leaving the only support for the weight of the prosthesis the skin and subcutaneous fat.2nd degree ptosis: Further sagging of the breast and lowering of the breast nipple on the chest.
