At What Age Can Tuberous Breasts Be Fixed?
It makes sense to await the completion of breast growth. The age at which this occurs varies significantly from woman to woman, but it is usually complete 3 to 5 years after the onset of puberty.
To do any surgery while there is ongoing breast growth may compromise the final outcome of surgical correction. Improper implant sizes might be chosen, or inappropriate incisions used.
A consultation with a plastic surgeon may be done at any age, provided, if you are a minor, you have...

Tuberous Breast Correction
In our practice we normally recommend waiting till the breast have fully developed. The age may vary from patient to patient but most patient can consider surgery around 18. I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon to see if you are a candidate.

Tuberous Breasts
Tuberous breasts can be well corrected with breast implants, widening of the lower part of the breast, and flattening of the nipple. At 18 years old, you qualify to have breast implants and can have the procedure.

Timing for surgery of the tuberous Breast
In my practice I wait until the patient is at least 18 years old. This allows her time for physical and psychological maturity so she can recover well.

Age not most important factor in timing tuberous breast repair

For most women this means the 18-21 range.
One exception is in women with severe asymmetry along with tuberous or constricted breasts. The problem can be noticeable in clothing and can be hard to...
