Tuberous Breasts: How Much Does It Cost to Release the Constricted Tissue And/or Reduce the Size of my Areolas?

I don't want implants, my breasts are small and perky enough. I just want a rounder look. When my nipples are erect i think they look normal, I guess since there is less "herniation of breast tissue into the areola" I'm 18 years old and would like to know my options and what numbers I'm looking at.

Cost for addressing tuberous breasts?

Tuberous breasts are most often addresed by releasing constriction of the lower pole and by placing an implant (saline/gel) to now help stretch this lower pole. That being said, you could probably get away with glandular scoring of the lower pole along with areaolar reduction/repositioning without an implant and get very similiar results. As for the cost, it really depends. My suggestion is to not use price as a determining factor. You will always find someone... more

Surgery for tuberous breasts

Tuberous breasts is not a single diagnosis but rather a range or spectrum of breasts that have certain features in common. The surgery required is dependent on the severity of the tuberous appearance. The cost is dependent on specifically what is done at surgery, the location of where the surgery is performed and the surgeon who is performing the surgery. Without even a photo it is hard to give you a price ranged for surgery. I hope price is not your first priority. You first priority... more

Non implant correction options for tuberous breasts.

Release can be achieved with a circumareolar approach and radial relaxing incisions in a subglandular plane with reduction of the areola. Another alternative is fat grafting as practiced by Dr. Coleman in Manhattan. Fees will range tremendously from approximately $4500 to $20,000.

Tuberous breast deformity

Without an exam it is hard to say what can be offered to you to provide the best outcome. In most cases some sort of implant is usually required along with releasing the tight breast tissue and possibly treating the areola as well.

Tuberous breast costs

Hi, this is very difficult to estimate without an examination to determine how much work would need to be done. If you include the surgeon's fees, anesthesia, and operating room costs, you should set aside about $8000-10,000 for the surgery. Keep in mind that without implants, it can sometimes be difficult to achieve an adequate shape and size to the breast. Good luck, /nsn.

There is ;no set price

You have some rough figures, but to know for sure you would have to be examined to see the extent of your problem.

Tuberous breasts can be corrected without breast implants.

Hi. Sounds like you have a relatively mild case. Make sure your breasts have stopped changing before having surgery. You need to add up the surgical fee plus the cost of the accredited operating room and recovery room plus the fee for the board certified anesthesiologist. In New York City, you should be able to get safe and competent care for $10, 000. see video

Tuberous breast correction without implants

Tuberous breast come in a wide range of deformities from minor to severe, with or without drooping and with or without asymmetry. While a combination of internal tissue release with implants will give the best correction, at the very least you would need the tissue release internally to correct the herniated breast tissue. You could do some augmentation with fat, but this is still quite variable and very expensive. The implants are placed to put pressure on the area... more

Very difficult to answer without a posted photo. But my guess fee is $6,500. From MIAMI DR. Darryl J. Blinski

Tuberous breasts are best corrected by fat grafts to give you natural shape and feel

Tuberous breasts are not uncommon and most of the time are corrected by releasing the constriction, augmentation and/or lift and addressing the asymmetry which is almost always present. If you want to avoid implants, fat grafting ids the best option. This is a scarless, incisionless reshaping and enhancement of the breasts and it costs the same or less than if you would have an augmentation and/or lift to correct the asymmetry.
