Are My Breasts Tubular, Do I Need Augmentation W/lift (photo)?

I am 32 years old and have had odd looking breasts since puberty. I small stretch marks on my boobs when they went from an A to a very small B. I would like to know if I have tubular breasts, if I would need an augmentation with a lift on both sides or just the left, and would I have to go to a C cup. I fear the final outcome because I can't seem to find breasts that look like mine anywhere. In proper posture, my right breast couldn't hold a pencil and my left sags lower but also couldn't hold

A breast lift with implants is likely your best option

Thank you for your question and the photos. No, you do not have tberous or tubular breasts. You do have narrow breast bases and a wide distance between your breasts.

Indications for a breast lift

There are classically two ways to determine whether a patient needs a breast lift. Ptosis grade : if you place an imaginary horizontal line at the level of the inframammary breast fold in the upright position you are graded as to the nipple position in relation to that line grade 1 : nipple at the line grade 2 nipple below the line grade 3 nipple at the bottom of the breast in the most dependent position 2. Objective measurements : the distance... more

No, your not tubular

The actual term is tuberous or root like, and no, you are not. You would benefit from augmentation and a lift depending on your goals and tolerance of a breast scar.

Tubular Breasts?

Thank you for the question and good quality pictures. I do not see any of the classic findings associated with “tubular” breasts in your photographs. I do however see asymmetric, widely spaced, ptotic breasts. You may benefit from breast augmentation/lifting surgery on both sides, depending on exactly what your goals are. I would suggest in-person consultation with board-certified plastic surgeons. Ask to see lots of examples of their work and... more
