Tuberous Breasts Still Not Right 12 Months After BA Surgery, What Are My Options?

Hi, I had my BA surgery 12 months ago. I had incisions made below my natural high creases ( I had tubular breasts). My surgeon said they 'would settle in time'. It's now a year and they STILL haven't settled into their new creases, I still have TWO creases on both breasts. I had 390cc CUI's. They're awful. Please advise :( Thank you

Tuberous breasts are about the toughest starting point for breast augmentation and sometimes the tight crease under the breasts can leave a memory on the lower pole of the breast with a new crease down below the old one. This is called a double bubble deformity and requires a revision to fix it. Good luck!

Tuberous Breasts 12 Mo. After Breast Aug Surgery, What R My Options? Answer:

I agree with Dr. Beraka. I think you had dense breasts with a bit of droop, not tubular, and a challenge from the start.

Had your implants been placed over the muscle, you would not have the DB you have now. BUT 6 mos. after surgery you would have been larger and even droopier! more

Tuberous breasts can be made to look right.

Hi. 1) I don't think you ever had tuberous breasts. Tuberous breasts are repaired with an incision around the nipples. 2) In any case, I am afraid you need a revision. This will not improve on its own. The folds under your breasts need to be reconstructed. see video

Constricted or Tuberous breast revision

The double lines most visible on your left breast are a consequence of the "tight" lower pole, which defines the tuberous or constricted breast variant. Dr. Rand's assessment is correct. You do need a revision but beforehand, define your "ideal" aesthetic outcome, volume, cleavage, nipple position, mobility and projection and then communicate these to your consultant. You should ask how many tuberous breasts (s)/he has done and review photos... more
