I have tubular breasts: enlarged areola, no underboob, my breasts are an abnormal shape and are very far apart. This is affecting my confidence like nothing else ever could and I am not able to lead a romantic relationship because I feel abnormal. Ideally I would have a average sized areola, round shaped breasts and underboob. Would it be possible to had an Areola Reduction, breast lift and possibly a fat insertion as opposed to implants? The photos show how my breasts change with temperature.
Answer: Tuberous Breasts and Breast Augmentation Hi hannahleigh1, 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. 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.

Answer: Tuberous breasts without implants Tuberous breasts are a relatively common problem. I would see someone that has experience treating them because there is a lot more to it then it might first appear. In my opinion you would be best served with implants. The implants can change the shape of your breast whereas a fat graft will not be able to exert the force needed to change your breasts and I think you would be left with relatively minor improvement. The problem is there is a tight, constrictive band that prevented the breast from developing normally so you need to divide the band and then place an implant in to keep it open so to speak and prevent the breast from narrowing again. The implant can also help to recruit more skin from your abdomen to get more tissue under your breast. Unfortunately fat doesn’t have the ability to do this and it will just increase your volume but not do the other things needed to change the shape of your breasts.

Answer: Tubular breast deformity Yes, your breasts can be improved by an areola reduction or splaying internal technique. fat transfer can improve your volume by one cup size at best long term. Many photos are available of great results short term. Be wary. You can always get implants as a secondary procedure if you so choose. By the way you are a beautiful woman weather you get your breasts changed or not. Your confidence is more important then your chest. Good luck...

Answer: Tubular breasts Many thanks for your question. It is quite possible to have your breasts reshaped, and a reduction in the size of your areolae as part of a mastopexy procedure. An implant does not need to be involved, though it could be if you wanted to be bigger. In addition, alternative techniques such as fat transfer could add some volume or improve the shape in a more subtle way. I don't think you can get a really good idea of the best option until you have a face-to-face consultation with an appropriately qualified and experienced surgeon.
