If I have mild tubular breasts & I were to receive a regular breast augmentation, would I develop double bubble deformity?

I am impressed by the scope of your research! Photos would be helpful because constricted or tuberous breast conditions can vary greatly.In extreme cases Tuberous Breasts, findings include breasts with narrow base diameter, herniated nipple areolar complexes, constricted lower pole Breast Tissue and high and tight inframammary folds. Only the severe cases demonstrate all of these findings. Double bubble deformity occurs when the inframammary fold needs to be lowered and the imprint of the old fold remains on the lower breast, above the new fold. Many tuberous breast corrections only require release of lower pole constricted breast tissue with placement of implants to maintain the breast shape and breast diameter and prevent the tissue from adhering again. The fold does not always need to be lowered and thus the risk of double bubble is eliminated. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area with lots of experience with this syndrome to explore the best options for you. Good luck.

Dear Innovateandlearn,
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.
