I just wish there were a way to "correct" it without using implants. People should be aware there are degrees of the deformity ranging from downward-pointing "Snoopy" breasts that have some fullness around the top, to "banana breasts" that are literally as narrow as bananas or even marker pens. I had the latter type of extremely narrow banana shape. There also tends to be a great difference in size between the two breasts and also size of the aereoli between the two breasts in women with this condition. I had the correction done almost 20 years ago and I do wish I could have avoided implants. I'm wondering now if I ever have the implants removed if fat transfer to the breast area has improved enough that it would be an option to giving me some breasts. I had very small breasts and the one that was larger had some tissue reduction by the surgeon, since all of the tissue was very poorly formed and in a bad location that it needed to be removed to get a rounder shape when an implant was inserted. I fear that if my implants are removed, I will be pretty much completely flat and possibly will even have some relapse to tubular form. The surgeon used tear drop implants to make them "work" better with the anatomic form of someone with a previously tuberous breast. It's not a fun condition to have. You feel very self-conscious and deformed before surgery, and self-conscious about having implants afterwards. Breast implants simply do not feel like natural breasts, particularly since most tubular patients require placement above the muscle.
