Confusion about tuberous breasts and pregnancy.
Answer: Tuberous breasts Dear princesssssS_,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.Your breasts will change with pregnancy, but it is unlikely that they will become tuberous again.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.Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: Concern Hello and thank you for your excellent question. Pregnancy will change your breast shape size, but these changes are independent of your natural breast shape, and any type of surgery that you have had. It is very unlikely that your breasts will ever become "tuberous" again, but there is a good chance that you could develop the same breast enlargement (and subsequent involution, or "sagging") that many women experience after pregnancy. However, these changes are impossible to predict. If you have been pregnant in the past, I tell patients that they are likely to have changes similar to those they have had previously.
