Spindle-shaped breast ptosis is a breast ptosis characterized by shortened transverse diameter at the base of the breast. The circular coronal plane at the base of the breast is smaller than the coronal plane at the distal end of the breast, which looks like a spindle, so it is called spindle breast ptosis. This kind of breast ptosis deformity is caused by the hernia of breast tissue falling to the areola area subcutaneously, and is often associated with areola magna syndrome.
