I started developing breasts at ten and they stopped by twelve and always looked rather immature. I had trouble breast feeding and really had to work hard to have enough milk supply. When I gain weight my breasts never get any bigger. I do have Tricare and they do cover tubular corrections but I’m not sure how to go about any of this.
Answer: Tuberous? 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. Treatment of tuberous breasts varies depending on the degree of the breast architectural distortion. Surgical correction typically involves: -areolar reduction -submuscular augmentation -release of constricted breast tissue All of these techniques work in concert to correct the tuberous deformation of the breast. Based upon your photos alone, you do not appear to have a classic "tuberous breast deformity." I would consider augmentation. However, this would be considered cosmetic and will not be covered by Tricare. As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS

Answer: Breast augmentation You don’t appear to have tubular breasts because you have a defined breast fold and no constriction of tissue around the nipples. A straightforward breast augmentation would probably achieve your desired results.

Answer: TBD You do not have TBD. I recommend an implant. The implant selection should be based on a combination of your desired size, soft tissue dynamics, breast base diameter and skin elasticity. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with. Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS), a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach TrainedDouble Board-Certified, Double Fellowship-Trained Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Tuberous Breast Deformity Judging by your photos it does not appear that you have tuberous breast deformity. Breast augmentation with saline or silicone implants will give you a nice result.There is a wide spectrum of tuberous breast deformity but what they usually have in common is a constricted (tight) lower pole, constricted base and herniation of the breast tissue into the nipple and areola.Hope that helps.

Answer: Breast augmentation I see no signs of tuberous breasts. You seem to have normal small breasts. If you would like larger fuller breasts then a breast augmentation would be approperate. See a plastic surgeon. Good luck.
