Thank you for your question. I would recommend doing some research and find a board certified plastic surgeon that is experienced with tubular breasts.
Tuberous breast deformity is actually pretty common among women. There are a few different ways to tackle this, and it really just depends on how extensive the deformity is. Sometimes a breast augmentation alone will fix the problem, while other times you may need internal tissue scoring, implants, a breast lift, and nipple re-shaping. The best thing to do is to have a few consultations with board certified plastic surgeons and see what will work the best. I hope this helps.
First off, please do not refer to yourself as ugly. If your breasts are tuberous, they can be treated! Breast augmentation technique in patients with all types of constricted or tubular breasts differ, depending on the degree of constricted breasts. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon with lots of experience with constricted breasts. Good luck!
Many patients are afraid to seek out a Plastic Surgeon with tuberous breasts, as they don't think it can be corrected. It is quite common that a patient may require more than just a breast augmentation to create an improved aesthetic shape. The procedure with often require release of the tight breast tissue and even elevation of the nipple. Many patients only require and incision around the areola. It is important to find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who can examine you, discuss all the options and show you before and after photos of a patient with a corrected tuberous deformity. There are many talented MD's in the Chicagoland area who can provide the opportunity for an excellent cosmetic result.
Unilateral and bilateral tuberous breasts are not rare and have different degrees of deformity. Some are very mild and need no treatment, other more severe cases can be improved with a breast lift and implants. An in person evaluation is the first step. See link below for examples.
Thank you for the question. 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" and areola and some degree of ptosis (drooping).When the time is right, seek consultation with board certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience achieving the types of outcomes you will be pleased with. In other words, ask to see lots of examples of their work. This careful selection of your plastic surgeon will be key.Generally I suggest that patients start with the American Society of Plastic Surgery and/or the Aesthetic Society of Plastic Surgery to obtain a list of well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons.Then, I would suggest you visit a few surgeons whose practices concentrate on aesthetic surgery. ***Ask to see lots of examples of their work and preferably speak/see patients who have had similar procedures done. Reading online reviews can be helpful in this regard also. Ultimately it will be important that you feel comfortable that your plastic surgeon have a significant/demonstrable experience consistently achieving the types of outcomes you will be pleased with. Besides appropriate training and experience (and certification by the American Board of plastic surgery), looking at before/after photographs (and preferably talking to previous patients) can be very helpful in this selection process. Basically, patients should look at the overall "quality" (as well as quantity) of the outcomes achieved; in other words, it will be important that patients see lots of examples of outcomes that they would be pleased with. In doing so patients will be able to get an idea of each plastic surgeon's "aesthetic sensibilities". Then, careful communication of your goals, careful dimensional planning ( measurements), careful selection of appropriate breast implant size/profile and skillful execution of the procedure will all be necessary to achieve the outcome you will be pleased with. Best wishes.
Tuberous breast refers to a tight and constricted skin envelope with a tight breast fold and "herniation" of the nipple, or a puffy appearance. Most are in fact bilateral. We would be happy to offer a complimentary consultation to help you.

Thank you for posting photos with your question. Based on the images provided, you have a mild form of tuberous breasts than would respond well to breast augmentation. The magnitude of the deformity is not severe and is unlikely be covered by an insurance carrier.
