I have tuberous breasts. Is there a way to fix them naturally through exercise or will surgery be the only option? (photos)

Question

My nipples are a little darker due to pregnancy at the moment but the areola has always been pointed out.

There is no exercise that will correct tuberous breasts. It would be best to consult with a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery to discuss your options.

Laurie A. Casas, MD, FACS · Answer

Unfortunately, exercise alone will not change the tubular shape of a women's breast. Based on your photo, I am not convinced that you have tubular breasts. When you are ready, I encourage you to set up a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who can help you better understand your options to achieving the breast shape and nipple position you are looking for. Good Luck.

Unfortunately, exercise will not change the shape of your breasts. It would require a surgical procedure do that. Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to review your options. Best of luck to you!

To change the shape of tuberous breast surgery is the only option. Exercise would not help.Make sure you see a board certified Plastic Surgeon

Thank you for your question and pictures.  Breast size and shape can not be changed via exercise unless you loose weight and they happen to shrink.  In order to correct the tuberous breast, surgery will be the only way.  Be sure to see a Board certified PS for your consultation.

Hello,The general shape and characteristics of your breasts cannot be changed except though surgery. I recommend that you meet with a board certified Plastic Surgeon in person to discuss your goals and your options.All the best

Christopher V. Pelletiere, MD · Answer

Unfortunately, when you have tuberous breasts, there is nothing much you can do to change them besides surgery.  With tuberous breasts, the breast tissue sits in a different position and is constricted more than regular breast tissue.  There are a number of surgical options available depending on ultimately what your goals are.  The best thing to do is to go for a few consultations with board certified plastic surgeons and see what is recommended.  I hops this helps.

Gary Lawton, MD, FACS · Answer

First you do not have tuberous breasts.  Second surgery is the only way to change the size/shape of the breasts.There is not much to be gained by labeling someone with
tuberous breasts.  An operative plan should be developed based on your
anatomy.  Whether that is breast implantation, lift or reduction,
symmetrization or some combination of procedures, there is no particular point
in stigmatizing your breast shape.  A properly trained, skilled and
ethical plastic surgeon can develop a plan based on your anatomy and give you
the outcome that you desire.  I see absolutely no point in diagnosing
someone with tuberous breasts or restricted base deformity.  Stigmatizing
a young person can have an effect on the way they perceive the outcome, even if
it is outstanding.

Unfortunately massage does not help a tuberous breast to improve.  Surgery is the only solution. Best of luck.

John Zavell, MD, FACS · Answer

The tuberous appearance and constriction seen  with your breasts cannot be fixed through exercise, diet, or any non-surgical approach.  You breasts will require structural changes to look more natural and this is only through surgery.  See a board certified plastic surgeon and good luck.
