Breast Augmentation: Q&A

Are my Breasts Tubular/hypoplastic?
I know i must have some mild form of it, but are they severe? I don't really care about the size or shape, I basically just want the areola to be smaller. Will an areola reduction fix the problem?

Breast lift
Based on your photos you appear to only have sagging breasts, known as breast ptosis. The appropriate surgical option is a breast lift (mastopexy). There are a wide variety of techniques. I would most likely use a short scar circumvertical method. This would lift the breast and reduce the areola size. The scars would be around the areola and vertical down the lower half of the breasts.

Tubular breasts
Hello and thank you for the question.
Your photographs do not depict the classic stigmata of tubular breast deformity which includes a breast that is small or hypoplastic (underdeveloped) with a constricted breast base, a high and tight inframammary fold (typically with an associated finding of lower pole skin deficiency), herniation of breast tissue into the areola leading to the classic "puffy areolas".
In your case, the breasts appear ptotic or saggy with large...

Areola reduction
Your areolas can be reduced with circumferential incisions and repair to give you the size areolas you want. Neither breast is tubular/hypoplastic.

Vertical breast lift
I agree with my colleagues in that you don't exhibit the classic signs of a tubular breasts. You do have a high inframmary fold with nipple-areolar ptosis. While a periareolar (donut, Benelli) mastopexy will allow you to reduce the diameter of your areolas, don't anticipate much of a lift, but you can see a flattening of the breasts. A better approach is a vertical mastopexy, that would allow you to achieve better projection and with minimal scarring.

Tubular?
Based on what can be seen in this one photo, your breast do not look 'tubular' or 'tuberous'. If you desire areola reduction, this can certainly be done although, to me, your areolae do not look very large compared to the base of your breasts.

Treatment of enlarged areola and tubular breasts
After examining your photos, I would agree with the others that you do not have tubular breasts. They appear to be ptotic (droopy) with a high crease. An areolar reduction would correct only the diameter of the areola but not give much of a lift. I feel a vertical lift would correct both problems with minimal scarring.

You have large areolas without tubular breasts.
Hi.
This is a very straight forward problem. A minimal scar (circle around the nipples) breast lift will make your areolas the right size and make your breasts look better.

Are My Breasts Tubular?
You do not appear to have true 'tubular breasts,' however, your breasts have a more tubular than rounded shape. To clarify this, 'tubular breasts' are breasts that are elongated with a very short distance from the breast fold to the edge of t the lower areola and a tight breast fold. The breast tissue is also 'herniated' (imagine that it is squeezed towards the areola like toothpaste is squeezed from a tube) causing your areola to become very large....

Tubular breast appearance
Based upon the photos you provided, your breasts do not appear to be tubular. A tubular breast is defined as having a constricted lower pole (a shortage of skin on the portion of the breast below the areola). The breast frequently appears droopy, and the breast tissue may herniate into the areola, making the areola appear puffy.
Areolar reduction will decrease the size of the areolae, but will create scars on the front of your breasts that may widen. I would...

You do not have tubular breast
You have grade II ptosis and no sign of typical tubular breast . Areolar reduction will help the size of the areola, but ill not give you lift.

Appearance of Tubular Breasts
Your breasts are not what I would classify as tubular breasts. Tubular breasts will have a very constricted lower breast pole where the distance from the areola to the breast fold is very small. The areala is often times large in comparison to the rest of the breast with a typical "herniation" of breast tissue into the areola itself. The width of a tubular breast is often quite narrow as well.
In your case, I would classify your breasts as ptotic...
