Tubular Breasts? Should I Fix Them?

I am not upset with the size just the difference. I go through periods where it really bothers me and others where it doesn't at all. I don't have low self esteem and besides the small issue love myself. It is just annoying and I hate worrying about it. No one has ever notice or said anything. Even ex boyfriends. I just don't want to be "the girl with fake boobs". That really is my concern that since the shape is pointed it won't look round and natural. Thanks!

Tubular Breasts

It would be useful to have included a lateral photographic view, but from the anterior view you do not appear to have tubular breasts. Your asymmetry appears to be very mild and it sounds as if you are happy with your breast volume. Therefore it does not seem that it would be advisable in your case to undergo an augmentation since all operations have risks.

No one can make the decison for cosmetic breast surgery except you

If I were examining you, I would not have noticed the asymmetry, which is there but minimal, and I have been doing this work for 33 years. Virtually every woman has some breast asymmetry--you have less than many. If you are happy with your shape, do nothing. Breast implants can make you larger but you have to be prepared to put up with the possible aggravations of a hard result (uncommon) and the need to replace the implants as they age. It's all a question of... more

It's up to you

I concur, breasts are not tubular. You are the only one that can decide if you would like Breast Augmentation or not. Most woman have some assymetry to their breasts. Breast Augmentation will make your breasts larger and fuller if you are interested but ultimatley the decision is yours.

Surgery is serious stuff!

Hi there and thank you for bringing up this issue. You ask a very important question--should I have surgery? From the way you describe your self-perception, it doesn't seem like you're too excited about surgery. Appropriate candidates for surgery are those individuals that have the following: 1. A distinct problem that can be appreciated by a surgeon and addressed in a safe manner 2. In relatively good health without contraindications to... more

Asymmetric breasts

Your photos show a mild asymmetry but not tuberous breasts. If you are looking for an improvement, you are a good candidate for smaller shaped implants that will give you more symmetry and a fuller natural look. Best of luck.

Fixing breast asymmetry

These are definitely not tubular breasts. If you are happy with the size then breast implants are obviously not a solution. Your posted photos have both of your arms up in different directions and only show the breasts from one angle. They do not clearly show the asymmetry you describe so it is impossible to say if there is a surgical solution to your asymmetry. If no one including boyfriends have ever said anything about the asymmetry it is likely that it is not that visible. I hope you... more

Correction for tubular breasts

You have a very mild tubular deformity, in the form of minimal development of the lower pole. Appropiately sized implants will provide a modest enhancement and the natural shape you desire without a fake or pointed look. This obviously bothers you enough to post a question in this forum, so I think it is worthwhile for you to seek consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Tubular breast

I do not note tubular breasts in your photo. If you are happy with the size and shape of your breast nothing need be done. As far as the difference you mention I believe you are talking about the size difference between the two sides. It is normal for thee to be a difference between the right and left breast.

Tubular breasts

Dear Cupcake, I think your breasts are round and small and slightly pointy but not really tubular. Tubular breasts have three features all to different degrees: 1. oval shape 2. tight lower pole and very short distance between the areolae and the fold 3. puffy areolae or large areolae or herniated areolae Please look at my website if you want to see what really tubular breasts look like. You can have an enlargement but do not think your breasts are abnormal. Thank you... more

Tubular Breasts? Should I Fix Them?

Dear cupcakesareyum, Your breasts are small and mildly pointed, but they are not tubular. The difference in shape between your right and left breasts is fairly modest. The only person who can decide whether breast enhancement is right for you is yourself. Breast augmentation can make your breasts fuller. Small to moderate sized medium profile breast implants could look very natural on your frame. Warmest wishes, Larry Fan, MD

So why fix it?

As they say, If it aint broke. dont fix it. If you like your breasts and you dont want them bigger and no one complains about them what are you asking for surgery for? Only have surgery if you are unhappy with a body part and a plastic surgeon agrees it can be fixed or improved.

Yours aren't tubular breasts

Your breasts are small and somewhat pointed but they are not tuberous (aka tubular). If they don't pose you any self esteem or social problems, I'd leave them alone. If being a bit larger would make you happy, go to the best plastic surgeon and ask for moderate profile implants of the right base dimension for your breasts and you won't look fake or round.
