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: Puff Nipples Your ‘puffy nipples’ are a result of a mild tuberous breast deformity. It occurs because of a constrictive ring that acts to restrict your breast as it develops and increases in size on your chest wall. The breast gets larger and larger but it can’t get through the band. The breast continues to grow and get larger and keeps on trying and pushing to get through the ring. Eventually enough force builds up and the breast is able to ‘pop’ through the ring but now there is too much tissue that escapes through the band and it ‘poofs up’. To correct this deformity you can undergo a breast augmentation which can change the triangular shape to a more round shape and have an incision around the areolae with can flatten the puffiness of the nipple. The change can be very significant and can produce a really nice result.

Answer: Long, cylindrical breasts Based on your pictures, You appear to have a tuberous breast malformation in your breast, which is often referred to as tubular breasts or constricted breasts, occurs when the breasts become abnormally long or cylindrical. When breast tissue doesn't develop normally throughout puberty, this happens. The following are typical characteristics of tuberous breast deformity: -Longer shape: Rather than being spherical, the breasts seem more tubular or cylindrical. -Narrow base: The breast's base is smaller than it should be. -Enlarged areola: There may be a greater than usual amount of pigmentation surrounding the nipple. -Inversion of the nipples: The nipples may point inward. There are a few surgical techniques to change the form of your breasts if you're not pleased with how they look, and I believe a mix of these methods would work best in your situation. -Breast augmentation is the process of putting breast implants to give the breasts more volume and form. -maastopexy :Lifting and reshaping the breasts is known as maastopexy, and it is frequently paired with breast augmentation or reduction. -Areola Reduction: You might get your areolae reduced if they are noticeably big. It's crucial to speak with a licensed plastic surgeon to see you and after exam, he can go over your alternatives and choose the best course of action for your unique requirements and objectives.

Answer: Breast Concerns Hi, thanks for your question. From your pictures it looks as though you may have tubular breasts. These aren't cause for concern from a medical standpoint, but if they cause you insecurity, I recommend that you book an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in order to explore your cosmetic options.

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
