Tuberous breasts and breast shape

Andrew P. Trussler, MD answers: Are my breasts considered "tuberous"?

Are my breasts are considered "tuberous breasts"? This how my breasts developed as a teen. I'm now 20 years old and my breasts never been super perky. I'm a virgin and I never had children or lost any dramatic amount of weight. My areloas and nipples always been big, but my breasts remain small. I never had any upper fullness and the bottom of my breasts never filled out. Most of my teens, my breasts has been a crooked like v-shape. So are my breasts are tuberous?

Congenital breast abnormalities come in varying forms and it appears that you do not have a "classic" tuberous breast which would involve lower breast internal bands and herniated or "puffy" nipples. You probably have some lower breast bands that actually can cause the breast to "droop" over time as it develops. To corect your problem a breast lift or mastopexy would reposition your nipple and reshape your breasts, and if you want a fuller look an implant could be added.

I hope this helps and good luck> Dr. Trussler
