My Dr suggested I might need a areolar reduction. He said I can get it later but why knock out 2 birds with 1 stone right? My issues are, I am afraid of having those type of scars & have read the scaring does stretch over time. Since I do have a mild form, do I really need the reduction?Can be fixed through just the fullness of the implant? & if I don't go through with the reduction will my areole spread and get bigger?I DO want to get rid of this issue, the question is- What approach do I take?
Answer: Mild Tuberous Breast correction. Getting Breast Aug, but do I really need an areolar reduction? If scarring around the areolae is a significant concern to you, you should address this with your plastic surgeon. Breast augmentation alone should provide you with larger, fuller breasts. But your areolae will mostly likely remain a bit puffy in appearance. This could be diminished with radial incisions under the areolae without the need for scars around the the areolae. The best thing to do is communicate with your surgeon. Thank you for sharing your questions and photos. Best wishes.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Correction of a tubular breast does not require a mastopexy necessarily. For most cases a constricted breast can be treated by a a sub glandular implant with a mastotomy alone. Mastopexy is not needed and from the photographs I don't think you need a mastopexy.

Answer: #BreastAugmentation Mmelbear,Its difficult to tell for sure from your photos, and I would have to examine you, but you may not have tuberous breasts. In that case, a straight forward augmentation would work fine.It always helps to get a second consultation from a plastic surgeon if you are not sure about the situation.I hope this was helpful,Dr. Daniel BarrettPlastic SurgeryBeverly Hills, CA

Answer: Areolar Reduction Hello,Keep in mind that an areolar reduction is really a lift that reduces the surface area of your breast skin envelope, and breast augmentation increases the volume of the breast, and therefore expands the skin surface area. These are two competing processes, and the resulting closure will be tight. If you are concerned about scaring, you should know that your scars are likely going to be worse (and you're likely going to see more areolar expansion) if you do them simultaneously. For many tuberous breast patients, staging (if necessary) of the augmentation and lift is a wise decision. For those that think that they want just one surgery, they should know that there is a high percentage of tuberous breast patients that end up with two or more surgeries, many unplanned. Because of the difficult nature of the deformity, it's best to be cautious. Best of luck, I'm sure you can get a great result!

Answer: Would not recommend it, unless you are bothered by your NAC size Your breast shape and areola size looks great. You do not have ptosis or a droopy breast and I agree with you: why place those incisions around your areola if you do not need to?The photos illustrate what appears to be an excellent candidate for breast augmentation. consider highly cohesive gel implants or gummy bears as they are by far the best implants in my opinion offered. These are the 5th generation implants, like those from Sientra.
