What is the least invasive option to correct my tuberous breasts? Hoping to avoid implants (photos)

Hi, thanks for your question. The appearance of your breasts could be improved with an uplift combined with an areola reduction, and some fat grafting to help boost the volume in the lower pole of your breast. I think your best result would be with the addition of a breast implant, but I would still anticipate the above procedure to provide you with substantial improvement. This could be performed as a daycase procedure (no need to stay overnight) with a short general anaesthetic and minimal downtime. If you were not satisfied with the appearances without an implant, you could consider the addition of a breast implant at a later date. I would recommend consulting a plastic surgery with a specialist interest in breast surgery.

Your breasts are sagging rather than tuberous. A breast lift can help reshape your breasts to make them rounder and fuller. At the same time, areolae reduction can be performed to make them more proportionately pleasing. You do not need implants unless you want to be larger. Your size would be about the same as you are now.

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 if additional volume is desired.

Best Wishes,
