I am looking to get a breast lift and implant. I lost a significant amount of weight my puberty years (a size 16 to a size 2 in the span of a year) and felt my breasts were drastically effected. I fluctuated weight well into my mid 20s, up to a size 8 my breasts were much fuller but now that I’ve been a steady size 4 for the past 5 years my chest has absolutely no upper Fullness. Curious if I am considered tuberous?
Answer: Not tuberous; breast lift and implant is correct I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements and they choose what looks right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: My chest has absolutely no upper Fullness - Am I tuberous? Hello @Hannahbialowas thank you for your question and showing your pictures. In some cases, tuberous breasts may present extremes or mild cases of constricted breast tissue. Instead of having a round dome shape, the breasts are shaped like ice cream swirls with narrower shapes. Variable circumferential constriction of soft tissue fibers. It is important to make a surgical plan that takes into account all the aspects to be improved in order to achieve the best result. You can also consider having a breast pexy with minimal approach and a fat transfer Lipo to improve the shape of the breast. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS

Answer: Bellesoma Method Your breasts are not tuberous but quite ptotic and widely separated. You will need a lift and the technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.
