I have recently turned 18 and have always felt insecure about my breasts. Do I have tubular breasts? (photo)

AspenGirl69Oct 9, 2017

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?

A week post op is too early, you are still healing.  Ask your Dr. about wearing a breast band to help push he breast down.  The breast tissue and muscle need to relax and this takes time, remember to follow your surgeons post operative instructions as he knows best.Best of luck.

Thank you for sharing your photos. Yes, I would agree that you fall on the spectrum of tuberous breast deformity. The increase in size will depend on the amount of skin available and the quality of your skin--it's ability to stretch and accomodate an implant. The tuberous breast deformity...

Hi, based on your photos I would not say that you have tuberous breast changes. The decision around having round or anatomical implants is individual and depends on what you are aiming to achieve, and which implant characteristics you choose to prioritise. I would recommend seeing a plastic...
