36, female, underdeveloped breasts, tubular, or both? (Photos)

Unfortunately, surgeons have created the term tuberous breasts, a fact which causes unnecessary concerns for women. Many women just have different sizes and shapes and in my opinion shouldn't be labeled. 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 with different size and style breast implants. 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.

It doesn’t look like your larger breast shows any tubular breast traits. There is no constriction of tissue around your nipple and you appear to have a distinct breast fold. For your smaller breast (the left one in the photo), it is difficult to say for sure as that breast is cut off in the side view photo.

Thank you for your query. You do have elements of both and also some asymmetry, but these are just terms. There is a wide variety of “normal” , and if this does not bother you stop worrying about it. If the shape or the size of your breasts bothers you , there are a variety of treatments available to improve both. Please find an experienced Board Certified Plastic surgeon near you who can examine you and help you with all your concerns. All the best!
