Active and desiring natural look, unsure about implants. I have been insecure about my breasts my whole life. I'm prefer not to have a lift as I do not want the keyhole scarring. Is the Interlocking Gore-Tex suture possible and what are the rates of stretching after? Will just the alveolar reduction help w/ symmetry and sag? Fears: Breast CA (no family hx though), uneven nipples, having to get them redone as I age, scarring and looking "bigger" in general

Answer: Tuberous breasts Dear Exciting580931, tuberous breasts are not simply small or underdeveloped breasts. The appearance of the breast can range from mild to severe, and typical traits include: enlarged, puffy areola, rather wide spacing between the breasts, very little breast tissue, sagging, higher than normal inferior breast fold, and narrow base at the chest wall.The type of surgery best for you will depend on the severity of your condition.My preferred technique for tuberous breast correction involves a multistep procedure where the breast tissue is released in a radial pattern to prevent herniation into the areola and placement of a custom implant size is in the breast to allow appropriate expansion of the breast in the restricted dimensions. This can often be done in a single procedure but sometimes may require two surgeries.That said, it is best that you visit a board-certified plastic surgeon for an in person examination. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Areolae To make your areolae smaller, you will have a scar around them. You could achieve about a cup increase in size with a fat transfer if you want.
