I am almost 20 years old now and I am a bit concerned about how puffy my nipples tend to be. As well as how pointy my breasts look...I was wondering what I should do?

Answer: Pointy, Puffy Nipples May Be Tuberous Breasts Thank you very much for your question and photographs. From your pictures, its appears that you have tuberous breasts. This is a condition in which breast tissue is constricted, creating elongated, pointy breasts and soft, puffy nipples. Tuberous breasts can be successfully corrected with a surgical procedure. During a breast augmentation, the constructed tissue will be released, implants placed to add volume, and the nipples resized to create an aesthetically pleasing proportion. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. At this time, he/she can examin your breasts and review your medical history, explaining all of your options for correction.

Answer: Tuberous Breasts Thanks for your question and pictures. This breast shape, known as tuberous breast, is something that plastic surgeons see all of the time. If you are happy with your current breast size, then a "breast lift" procedure could be performed. I used the "" because you don't need a lift as much as you need flattening of the shape. In this case the Benneli or donut lift is ideal. The scar would be placed only around the edge of the areola. Best of luck!BH

Answer: Tuberous breasts Dear tking2242,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. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
