Hello, I previously had submuscular inframammory implants for 12 years to improve the size and shape of my hypoplastic breasts. However, I was never happy with them because they were larger and more prominent than I wanted. Now, I've had them removed for 2 years and they are even more deformed after removal but I don't know the best way to proceed. I want to improve the shape, more rounded and less pointed. I am thinking fat transfer or maybe anatomical implants?

Answer: Hypoplastic breasts Dear Celebrated6724, 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: How to improve the shape of hypoplastic breasts? Hello @Celebrated6724, thank you for your question. It depends on what you want to achieve. If you removed your implants for health issues then implants are out of the question. If there is not much breast tissue you could have a breast fat transfer with an experience surgeon that can create with you a surgical plan to improve the shape of the breast. For more information and recommendations, it is best to consult one or more board-certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS. If you are considering to improve volume, consultation with a plastic surgeon who is experienced in this procedure is essential to ensure optimal results. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
