Do I Have an Unusual Case of Large Tuberous Breasts? (photo)

User Avatar
Maluhia42Feb 7, 2013

After suspecting for years that I have tuberous breasts, I had a consultation with a PS. His opinion was that I have some degree of the deformity, but he didn't seem completely confident in diagnosing me with it since most tuberous breasts are small. Because of his uncertainty, I would like the opinions of more doctors about my condition and treatment options. Do I have a case of larger-than-normal tuberous breasts? I am 25, have never been pregnant, and have had no major weight fluctuations.

It is very early since surgery, and with time, this issue will likely resolve. With sensation intact, erectile function of the nipple will probably return.
