Do I have tuberous breasts? (Photo)

Far more important than the technique is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon. Choose your surgeon rather than the technique and let them explain why one technique may be better than another.  See the below link on some suggestions on finding the most qualified Plastic Surgeon for a Breast Augmentation.  Always insist on a board certified plastic surgeon.

Thank you for your photos and your question. You have small, somewhat uneven breasts. That having been said, they fall into the category of completely normal. As with all other body features, healthy breasts come in all shapes and sizes. I would not categorize yours as tuberous. Will they change further on their own? Yes, during pregnancy and breast feeding, but as you are already 24, I think it would be unusual for them to get much larger without the influences of pregnancy or perhaps a large weight gain. But whether or not your breasts are "normal" the is not as important as the fact that the way they look makes you self conscious to the point that this concern interferes with how you participate in various activities, like being intimate. And that can be improved by changing the appearance of your breasts with breast augmentation. Please make sure that you choose a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Please make sure that he or she also works with you to help you choose the volume implant that feels right for you. In my professional opinion, it is a disservice to our patients to think we can choose the size they want. I have included a link to one of my other realself.com answers about breast implant choices and who should make them. See below You do not need to label your breasts as tuberous to not be happy with them. They can be improved. Choose your surgeon carefully and treat yourself to a consultation. Best wishes

Without examining you it is difficult to be certain but it does appear as though you have a mild form of tuberous, or tubular, breasts. This is something that can certainly be corrected as part of a breast lift or augmentation as long as your surgeon recognizes it and releases the constricted areas appropriately. Meet with a few board-certified plastic surgeons in your area until you feel comfortable that one can do the job that you want. Best of Luck!

It is apparent that you have all three signs of tubular breasts. The bottom of the breast called the inframammary fold is poorly defined, the bottom of the breast has a lack of volume, and there is herniation of breast tissue into the nipple-areolar complexes.

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.After having analyzed all the information and photos provided to us, i can identify that you have a underveloped and low grade tubular Breast. I recommend you perform a Tubular Breasts Correction with Breast Augmentation using silicon implants, at the same surgical time.There is a surgical technique for Tuberous Breasts correction, by which it is arranged the tuberous areolar ring from inside, and we also need silicon implants, to get a better Breast volume and projection.I recommend you to use microtexturized highly cohesive silicon implant ("gummy bear" implants), with high projection, and 400ml up will be excelent volume on you, to fill the breasts properly.Therefore it is very important that the plastic surgeon who will perform the surgery, has the skills and vast experience in this type of procedure.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Thank you for your question and providing photos. Based on the photos it does appear you have a constricted component to your breasts. I have seen much worse. This is easily correctable. I highly doubt your breasts will significantly change without surgery. I would recommend a small volume implant with a lower profile. I suggest you consult with a board certified PS. Best of luck

Thank you for the question and pictures.
Yes, I think your breasts do demonstrate some of the qualities seen with tuberous (constricted) breasts; there is a wide range when it comes to tuberous/constricted breast presentation.
Generally speaking, some of the characteristics seen with tuberous breasts include a very narrow base, short distance from areola to inframammary fold, tight (constricted) lower pole of the breasts, relatively wide space between the breasts, "puffy” areola and some degree of ptosis (drooping).
Generally, correction of tuberous breast anomalies involves breast augmentation with areola reduction / mastopexy procedure. The distance from the inframammary fold is increased (to create a more rounded out appearance). Proper implant positioning improves the distance (cleavage) between the breasts. The areola reduction helps to treat the pointed and "puffy" appearance of the areola.
In the most severe cases of tuberous breast, a more complete breast lift may also be necessary. In many cases however, a lift is not necessary. The patient should be aware that the final result will take months to see and that they will need to be patient and that revisionary surgery is more likely than in patients who do not present with tuberous (constricted) breasts.
In your case, if the appearance/shape/size of the breasts are a concern, you may be an excellent candidate for corrective surgery.
When you are ready, please make sure you consult with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons who have significant (demonstrable) experience with this type of surgery.
I hope this, and the attached link (dedicated to corrective surgery for patients with tuberous/constricted breasts) helps. Best wishes.

You definitely have tuberous breast. This is best corrected with a mini-lift and breast augmentation. A consultation would be helpful to give you definitive recommendations.

Thank you for the photos and you do appear to have tuberous breasts so go on some consults with experts in your area and discuss your optionsDr Corbin

It does appear that you have tuberous breasts. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that your breasts will improve as you age. Surgery would be your only option to improve the appearance of your breasts. A conservative sized breast implant could provide you with your goal of a more normal, fuller/rounder shape to your breasts and improved self-confidence. Thank you for sharing your photos and concerns. Best wishes.
