Q: Are my breasts considered "tuberous"? asked by AnonymousGirl Dallas, TX

A:

It is important to know that the shape, position and symmetry or lack thereof is very common in women. You have some laxity or sagginess of your breasts (also called ptotic "totic"). The tuberous breast is typically tighter at the bottom, the areola are larger and sometimes almost appear to protrude or herniate yielding a puffy areola. I wouldn't say that your breasts are tuberous more the laxity would benefit from a breast lift if it bothers you. You have some asymmetry in the shape and volume but these can be improved on with surgery. I would suggest you meet with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can examine you and review your options with you. You may chose to hold off until after having children but they will review that with you. I wish you well.
