i'm a 19 yr old girl,for as long as i can remember i have been unhappy with my breasts. it is my biggest insecurity.My breast are quite uneven to where my right breast is much larger than my left. i feel like i have slightly tuberous breast as well although i have never had that confirmed medically. Also my Areolas are quite large and puffy ( the right areola is larger and almost points downward). i'm not quite sure why they do this. i'm a 36 B and i am quite happy with the size of my breast but am very unhappy with the shape and uneveness of my breast as well as my areolas.for personal reasons i would like to avoid getting implants if at all possible but i would still like to improve my breast. i have noticed something called "Natural Breast Augmentation" or "Fat Transfer to Breast" and am highly interested in it, would a procedure like this change the shape of my breast into more of a rounded shape to look more normal? and could this be combined with a Areola Reduction? or would my best option just be to get the breast implants?
Answer: Avoiding Implants in Breast Asymmetry
Implants can certainly be avoided in cases of breast asymmetry. The larger breast can be reduced, while lifting both breasts.

Answer: Mini Ultimate Breast Lift instead of implants
The optimal solution for you is a new technique called The Mini Ultimate Breast Lift. Using only a circumareola incision it is possible to reduce the size of your areolas, reshape your breast, elevate them higher on the chest wall and move them more medial to increase cleavage. At the same time, your larger breast can be reduced for a more accurate match. This technique avoids implants, there are no vertical incisions and the results are natural. I do not recommend fat injection because it is still experimental. The Mini Ultimate Breast Lift is an all natural procedure with no foreign bodies and no injections.
Best Wishes,

Answer: Breast Reshaping with/without Implants
Judging from your photo, it seems you do have a variation of tuberous breast deformity, which is often accompanied by a significant difference in size between the two breasts. The standard approach usually includes various types of breast lifts to lift and reshape both breasts, sometimes a different technique for each breast. The areolae can be reduced, lifted, and centered nicely within each breast. If you like the size of your smaller breast, then the other one can be reduced to match, and no implants are necessary. If, however, you want one breast enlarged to match the other, then you must have a breast implant placed unless you choose to have a series of fat grafting procedures. This process is still evolving at present, and the number of doctors enlarging breasts via fat grafting is still relatively small. Of course, if you want both breasts enlarged, then you need to consider either implants or fat grafting for both.

Answer: Asymmetric Breasts with Tuberous Deformity
Dear FL,
You do indeed have a form of tuberous breast deformity. I presume that the photo is taken in a mirror, which would explain why you are stating that your right breast is larger and more sagging when we are seeing it as your left breast. You can improve the shape of both breasts with a lift operation limiting the scars to just around the areolae (with perhaps a small vertical scar needed on the right, larger breast). Your choices with that would be to; 1. leave the volumes asymmetric, 2. reduce the right breast volume to match the left, 3. symmetrize the volumes with different sized implants placed in both breasts, 4. symmetrize the volumes with a single implant placed in the left breast, 5. symmetrize the volumes with fat transfer, either simultaneous with the lift or at a later time in a staged fashion. Your condition is complicated and the choices numerous. Be sure that you are in the hands of an American Board of Plastic Surgery certified plastic surgeon. Good Luck!

Answer: Tuberous breast can be fixed
Thank you for the photo and the history you provided. Yes, you have tuberous breasts with significant asymmetry. This is something I see regularly. You will first need an in-person consultation with a BC PS and surgically probably breast lifts (both sides) and either a small implant on the smaller breast or a reduction of the larger breast, depending on which breast size you want to match. Best of luck to you.
