What can I do for underdeveloped breasts? (photo)

You are very thin with small breasts. The keys are to fill out the upper and lower parts of the breast with the right implant and to place it in a way that looks relatively natural. The technique that best achieves this is a Dual plane technique, where the implant is below the muscle in the superior pole of the breast, and the lower portion of the muscle is released to allow the implant to fill the lower pole of the breast. This covers the implant sufficiently while allowing it to be in an ideal position and fill the breast envelope beautifully.

Location of the incision, location of the implant, type of implant, and size are all critical questions for women who choose breast augmentation. The common denominator to the most beautiful breasts is that they were sized objectively on the basis of measurements. For instance, we combine a proven formula based on measurements of the rests and chest along with through discussions of patient's desires. Photos of ideal breasts and results from patients with similar breasts are often very helpful in the discussion.

Plastic surgeons are trained differently and have varying levels of experience and so the key is to work with a Board Certified plastic surgeon with expertise and experience in breast augmentation. He or she should be able to clearly explain their approach and why they do things a certain way. I hope this was helpful. Thank you and best of luck. Dr. Campbell

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us. After having analyzed all the information and photos provided to us, i can realize that you have an undeveloped breasts and a low-grade breast ptosis (fall). For these reasons, I recommend a Breast Augmentation using microtexturized highly cohesive silicon implants, with high projection and considerable volumes (300ml. up) to fill the breasts properly, and placing them under the muscle to get a natural look and long term best results.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Women come in all shapes and sizes. Although at times an underlying endocrine disorder can cause irregular breast development if you do not have any other irregular symptoms it's more likely you just inherited smaller breasts. Even sisters can have very different genes when it comes to breast development. Fortunately you do not have to live with small breasts if they bother you.  Breast augmentation is a very powerful technique in the right hands, and can have dramatic results in a variety of breasts types. Most important is a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon regarding this procedure. Don’t settle for less!

Generally, there is no pathology associated with underdeveloped breasts.  However, it may warrent investigation with an endocrinologist to make sure you don't have a hormone irregularity.  I would see your primary care physician first and see if an endocrine workup is necessary.

Thank you for your question and photos.  If you are looking to increase the volume of your breasts, you should be seen in person by a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine what your realistic expectations from breast augmentation surgery should be.  Numerous patients with anatomies similar to yours benefit a great deal from a breast augmentation.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

Thank you for your question and posting appropriate pictures.  There is nothing wrong with your breasts anatomically, they just happen to be too small for your liking. You actually seem to be a good candidate for breast augmentation.  Please look to have consultations with board-certified plastic surgeon and preferably undergo Vectra 3-D imaging simulation of your postop results. 

Hi... thank you for the question and photos... Your breast are small but very normal anatomy. This could be treated with an under the muscle (for a better cover of the implant) silicon implant. 

Hi,

Thanks for posting your question. I am happy to try and help you. It is
important to remember that a board certified plastic surgeon will be your best
resource when it comes to an accurate assessment of your situation, and
concerns.

Having said that, breast development can occur at different rates on different
women. As you are maturing your percentage of body fat will change. As you
become thinner, your breasts will get smaller. Now this is the bad part, if you
gain weight, your breasts may not get larger. They may become larger but they
may also not change, but the rest of you may get bigger. Also, birth control pills
will influence your breast sizes.

Your sister has a different gene set than you. As for you, you are a candidate for breast augmentation. :)

Best wishes,

Dr. Michael J. Brown (Northern Virginia Plastic Surgeon)

Thank you for your picture and question. You are a good candidate for breast augmentation and you should be able to achieve a nice shape and contour to your breast with a gel implant. You should meet with a board certified plastic surgeon who can discuss the different types and shapes of implants available for you.

Thank you for your question. Although your breasts are small, there doesn't seem to be any significant developmental abnormality. You simply have small breasts with minimal breast gland development. Based on your photos, it appears you would be a good candidate for breast augmentation.  I recommend seeking out a board certified plastic surgeon in your area who can discuss your options.  Best of luck to you!
