Your breasts are not tuberous

Gregory A. Buford, 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?

Are my breasts considered "tuberous"?

I agree with the previous experts in that your breasts are probably not tuberous (by definition) but are definitely droopy. As such, I would recommend the following:

  • submuscular augmentation (to increase your overall breast volume and enhance upper pole fullness)
  • breast lift (to reduce areaolar diameter, lift position of the nipple, and create a more optimal shape)

These two procedures would provide the best chance for a more optimal breast appearance.

I hope that helps.
