Tuberous Breasts? (photo)
Female, 23 years old. Hello, I am wondering if I have tuberous breast deformity or just sagging and large areolas? I would like to keep my current size, but achieve a more natular round shape without the sagging and with smaller areolas. What are my options? Thanks!

?Tuberous breasts
There are a number of features that define a tubular breast:
•Wide and puffy areolae
•widely spaced breasts
•high breast fold
•constricted lower pole (deficient tissue in lower half of the breast
•minimal breast tissue
•high breast fold
•narrow base of the breast
The only feature that I see in your photos is the wide spacing of what appear to be normally shaped breasts.
Given your preferences, a breast lift would be the correct operation. Most likely...

Tuberous breasts
You have ptosis and wide areola. You may have some very mild signs of the tuberous breast and you will need implants and a breast lift

Tuberous Breasts?
They are not tuberous breasts in the classical sense, but they are not perfectly round breasts either. The classification does not matter as much as what can be done to help the look. A breast lift with or without implant would be my recommendation.

You would benefit from a lift with a small implant.
To answer your question, your breasts have some droop and possibly a small component of a tuberous breast. A recommandation for your concerns would be a mastopexy (breast lift) with a small implant for an improvement in shape. The lift would tighten your tissues and reduce your areola size as well. Choosing a small implant would give you some added volume for a nicer overall look and shape to your breasts. Good luck with your decision!

No Tuberous Breasts Deformity
You do not have tuberous breast deformity. You can have and areolar reduction and lift. This will decrease your breast size. To retain some aspects of your breast size you will need an implant.

Tuberous breast?
No, these breasts are not tuberous. They are sagging. You will need a mastopexy and probably an implant behind the muscle. Size of implant is negotiable.

Correcting thinner looking breasts.
You can definately benefit from a lift and implants. You can try on different sizes and talk with your PS about making the base of your breasts a little wider surgically and filling them with the right size implants.

Breast lift with areola vertical scar.
This is a moderate case of tuberous breast, which requires a standard breast lift without implants. the scar is gong to be limited at the areola and vertical , from lower areola to inframammary fold. fe incisions of the gland could be necessary to distend and shape the breast .patient must wear 2,3 months a supporting bra until scar and shape is achieved . operation could be performed under local anesthesia and light sedation

Breast ptosis
You may have trace elements of a tuberous breast in the sense that they may be a bit narrow. However, I think you need more of a lift than anything else. This can often be done with a vertical lift only( lollipop incision). Good luck!

Tuberous?
Hello. Thanks for posting your question. The photos show and sagging and some of the signs of a tuberous breast, like a wide areola and tight breast base. You have several options including breast lift and implants, but you should discuss this with your PS. Best wishes, Dr. Aldo.

Tuberous breast question
No you do not have tuberous breasts. A breast lift is the right procedure for you.It will give you a more youthful shape with smaller areola diameter if desired. Good Luck!

Just saggy
You are not tuberous, just saggy with large areolae. You could have a breast lift, with or without implants, just depends on the desired size.

Tuberous Breasts?
Thank you for the question and pictures.
Not to confuse you, but unlike my colleagues, I do not appreciate any of the characteristics typically seen with tuberous breasts demonstrated in your photographs. I would agree with you that your pictures demonstrate breast ptosis ( “sagging”) and wide areola.
Based on your photographs and stated goals, I think you will benefit from breast augmentation and breast lifting surgery. When the time is right seek consultation with...

Hello
From your picture it doesn’t show that you have tuberous breast deformity. You could get a breast lift with a very modest implant to give you superior fullness and give you more of a rounder look. You should see a PS to give you more adequate advice with an exam.

The tuberous breast diagnosis is only important if it impacts what needs to be done
Hello,
Thank you for the question and photos. It may be that you have a component of tuberous breast deformity but it may not really impact what needs to be done surgically to obtain an excellent result. More important than the label of "tiuberous breast" we can describe your breasts as having ptosis (sagging), large areolas, and very little upper pole volume. To improve the shape and appearance of your breasts you will need an implant to improve volume and upper pole...

Tuberous Breast and Treatment.
Hi Christy, Thanks for the question and photos.
You definitely have tuberous breasts. If you want to maintain the same size and smaller nipples and better shape, a circumareolar lift (donut lift) would help quite a bit. However, this will not give you fuller rounder breasts with upper breast fullness. You will need an implant for this. I recommend consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for definitive treatment plan and to see before and after photos...
