I'm 20 and I am positive my breasts are finished growing. do I have underdeveloped breasts maybe because of a hormone deficiency? I've been taking birth control since I was 15 because I would rarely ever have a period. Could the birth control have caused/covered up an underlying problem? Is there any type of hormone therapy I could undergo to fix my tuberous breasts and finally cause them to develop? if surgery is the only way, will insurance cover it, since it's classified as a congenital deformity?
Answer: Tuberous breasts? Far more important than the technique is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon. Choose your surgeon rather than the technique and let them explain why one technique may be better than another. See the below link on some suggestions on finding the most qualified Plastic Surgeon for a Breast Augmentation. Always insist on a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Hormone therapy not for breast enlargement Thank you for your question. In general, there may be other risks associated with hormone therapy to change breast size. A safer and more predictable approach would be to use fat grafting or breast implants. I would visit with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options in more detail.

Answer: Surgery is required to fix Tuberous Breast Thank you for your email and photographs. Unfortunately surgery is required to correct tuberous breast deformity.Because of the constricting bands beneath the skin these must be released surgically to allow the breast to expand with an implant.

Answer: Tuberous breasts Tuberous breasts occur for many different reasons and sometimes for no definite reason at all. Hormone deficiency can play a role in underdeveloped breasts, especially lack of estrogen. It might be worthwhile to see your primary care physician to have your hormone levels and other laboratories checked. Sometimes, replacement or augmentation of hormones may help. However, I think to get an appreciable result or change in the size and shape of your breast surgery may be indicated. It really depends on your desired level of change. This is something you should speak about with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area. Good luck.
