Fixing nipple herniation in tuberous breast without implants? (Photo)

Question

hello, i’ve asked this question but i’ve missed out important info so i was wondering if it’s possible to fix the herniation in my tuberous breasts without implants ( i do not want implants ) and i do not want to have larger breasts just looking for them to look how they look when cold (slides 4/5 which would be the perfect outcome for me)

Surgical release of constricted tissue can be performed to make your breasts look more like how they do when they’re cold. Implants aren’t necessary.

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

The technique I recommend is a mini lift.  Using a circumareola incision, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.  At the same time, fat transfers can be performed to correct volume asymmetry.

Best Wishes,

Dear Srandy1999,
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.
