Improving breasts with implants and possible breast lift

Thank you for your photos. Your breasts are not tuberous. Many would consider your breasts very attractive as they are now. If you want something different, that is possible. Whether an implant alone, a lift, or both would be chosen depends on your goals. Be careful to select an experienced surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery to help you discern what is right for you.

Tuberous Breasts

Based on your photograph, your breasts do not appear to be tuberous. To verify, you should have an in person consultation and exam with an experienced and expert board certified plastic surgeon.

Improving breast shape with implants alone

You don't appear to have tuberous breasts based on your picture. You appear to have slight breast asymmetry and breast ptosis (sagging). Placing an implant in the submammary plane (on top of the muscle) may improve shape and position of the nipple and areola without a breast lift. Depending on your appearance goals you may want to consider a breast augmentation and mastopexy (lift) for the best improvement in breast shape and lift.

Looking at the picture it does not seem to be that you have tuberous breast. It is possible to improve the shape and form of your breast by a breast augmentation qprocedure which would add volume and uplift your breast. Good luck

Tuberous breasts

From your photos it does not appear that you have tuberous breast. There is some inequality and sagging. In your case, breast implants alone would most likely give you a good result without the need for a lift or other procedure.

Mild sagging can be corrected with breast implants and internal (scarless) lift only.

Is a lift needed

Thanks for the question. First your breasts are not tuberous. Your left breast is smaller. I do not have additional pictures or breast measurements to determine if you would need a lift in addition to your augmentation You should consult with a couple of PS for a complete evaluation. Dr ES

Tuberous Breasts?

Thank you for the question and picture. It is difficult to make an accurate diagnosis based on the photograph provided, but I do not see any sign of significant breast constriction. You do demonstrate asymmetric breast hypoplasia with some degree of ptosis (“sagging”). Most of the typical findings seen with tuberous breasts are not present. Some of the characteristics seen with tuberous breasts include a very narrow base, short distance from areola to... more

Are breasts tuberous?

It is difficult to assess your chest wall and make any recommendations based on the quality of your photo. But it does appear that one breast sags more than the other. In addition, it appears you may have a mild constricted breast base. A formal physical exam is needed to make any recommendations. But I think you would need to additional interventions (such as a lift) in conjuctions with your implant augmentation. Please visit with a board certified PS in your... more
