They are starting to sag and some areas around my breasts don't seem as full as others and I have huge areolas. Also, my right breast feels heavier then my left. My breasts are starting to mess with my self-confidence badly and I was wondering if my breasts are tubular? If they are what are possible treatment options? And if not, what are some options to make them look better?
Answer: Tuberous breast...points on a continuum Tuberous breast is not, technically speaking, a "yes" or "no" question. There can be different points on the continuum. The typical hallmarks include a high, tight fold with "puffy" or distended areola, minimal breast tissue and potentially herniation of the breast tissue through a tightened ring thus the "tuberous" label. It is a congenital deformity which usually manifests at puberty. To what degree it manifests will vary from one patient to the next.

Answer: I have recently turned 18 and have always felt insecure about my breasts. Do I have tubular breasts? Tubular breasts are where the breast tissue looks like it is herniating or pushing through the areola (or pigmented area). Sometimes the areola can be large. Sometime the bottom of the breast is constricted or tight. Most times, people have significant breast asymmetry or are unequal. This can be a very challenging problem and difficult to create symmetry. My patients usually opt for some type of breast augmentation to better round out the appearance of the breasts and an areolar reduction. Make sure to see someone with a lot of breast surgery experience. My best to you.

Answer: Do I Have Tubular Breasts? Dear AspenGirl, Yes, you have tubular breasts. The good news is that surgery can help you feel and look better in and out of clothes. It looks like a peri-areolar lift, radial scoring and a sub-muscular implant should give you the results you are looking for. Make sure your surgeon is experienced with this type of surgery. Good luck. Dr. Gervais.

Answer: I agree that it seems like you do ... thank you for your question and photos and congratulations for your investigation. I think you really would benefit by breast surgery at some point. I think it really will change how you feel and just makes simple act of getting dressed so much easier. As the other doctors have said, I wholeheartedly support you to seek out a well-trained board certified plastic surgeon. I think you really will notice a huge difference!
