Do I have constricted/tuberous breasts? If so, what would be the best method of action? (Photo)

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.After having analyzed all the information and photos provided to us, i can identify that you have a underveloped and mild tubular Breast. I recommend you perform a Tubular Breasts Correction with Breast Augmentation using silicon implants, at the same surgical time.There is a surgical technique for Tuberous Breasts correction, by which it is arranged the tuberous areolar ring from inside, without requiring areolar reduction. In this technique we also need silicon implants, to get a better Breast volume and projection.Therefore it is very important that the plastic surgeon who will perform the surgery, has the skills and vast experience in this type of procedure.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Hello, and thank you for your question and helpful photos. Of course, an in-person exam with a board certified plastic surgeon needs to be your first step. Only then, during a physical exam + breast measurements, can a formal diagnosis be made.That said, your breasts appear to be mildly constricted with a short distance between the bottom of your areola, and the natural crease at the bottom of your breast (the "inframammary crease," or "IMC"). With an inframammary crease incision, your surgeon has the flexibility to lower the crease a bit, helping to round out the shape of your breasts. An implant will enhance the size, obviously, but also the shape. I hope this helps. Ask to see before and after photos of patients that look like you. This surgery will be personalized to your anatomy. You will love your results. Best of luck!

Thank you for
your question and photos!

To answer the
simple question – PCOS does not cause tuberous breasts but may have the same
originations. Also, it is a rare symptom to have tuberous breasts if one has
PCOS.

Secondly, your
images do not indicate tuberous breasts, but may have some subtle signs of it.

Tuberous breast is a congenital abnormality that occurs during
puberty breast development. It can be classified by a combination of reduced
breast diameter, underdevelopment of the breasts, areolar overgrowth,
protrusion of the nipple areola complex, breast sagging, and breast asymmetry.

What you seem to have is mild constriction at the bottom of
the breasts resulting in slightly cone shaped breasts, with mild areolar
herniation. You also display a short nipple to inframammary fold distance, and
wide areola.

Correction requires total personalization, surgical
planning, technical skill and finesse, anatomical understanding, and an aesthetic
vision to achieve the most beautiful, balanced, and natural results.

The surgery will
involve releasing the constricted base of the breast while defining the
inframammary fold (breast fold). The areola reduction may be needed to help
treat the pointed and “puffy” appearance. Breast augmentation through the
inframammary incision will also provide naturally shaped breasts with an
adequate size.

Please have an
in-person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon, preferably with
a local surgeon so that following up with them is easier.

Hope this helps.
