Will fat transfer help to improve my tuberous breasts? (Photo)

Question

I had tuberous breast and surgery long time ago but shape is not right at the bottom. What can I do to improve on this can I do a fat transfer, does the constricted ring need to be released more, any other suggestions? The areola has also stretched and I would like to use permenant stiches to make smaller this time and hopefully hold shape

Hello @sunm thank you for your question and showing you pictures. An on-site or virtual consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is the best way to determine what can be done according to your individual characteristics and goal look. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD FACS

Dear sunm,
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.The type of surgery best for you will depend on the severity of your condition.My preferred technique for tuberous breast correction involves a multistep procedure where the breast tissue is released in a radial pattern to prevent herniation into the areola and placement of a custom implant size is in the breast to allow appropriate expansion of the breast in the restricted dimensions. This can often be done in a single procedure but sometimes may require two surgeries.That said, 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.

An examination is needed to be sure, but perhaps fat transfer would be helpful. Normally fat does not do as well with reshaping the breast as implants.

Mats Hagstrom, MD (license on probation) · Answer

Fat transfer may give some benefit but it should not be the primary procedure.

You need to redo the areola‘s and reshape the implant pocket.

You need to be assessed to see if you have a capsular contraction.

Follow up with the surgeon who did your procedure or schedule in person consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons.

Fat transfer by itself isn’t going to do much for you

Best,
