Why do my breasts look droopy, thin, have a weird texture and how can I fix them?

Question

I’m female 19 almost 20 5’1” about 140 lbs my bra size is about 32 B but I don’t like wearing bras because they never seem to fit me properly. My left breast is significantly larger than my right and my nipples are often very puffy and large. However when cold they change in size texture and color. They get smaller and has a raisin type texture. The skin on y breasts feel very thin and my breasts feel very droopy. Please explain why they look this way and how can I fix them.

Hello and thank you for the question. I do believe you have elements of tuberous breasts, including high inframammary crease, constricted lower pole and herniation of breast tissue into areola. This can be corrected with breast augmentation in conjunction with scoring of lower pole for better expansion. I would consult with a qualified plastic surgeon for a formal evaluation. Best,

I recommend a breast lift with 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

Dear Adelies,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.Daniel Barrett, MD
