Do I have tubular breasts or is it due to weight loss? (photo)

Question

I have always fluctuated in my weight & when I was younger I had 'boobs' beofre most of my friends. However I do feel like my areolas are very large in comparison to the size of my actual breast. I feel like I have more boob at the bottom than the top & my boobs/areoles look different depending on how relaxed I am. I have always wondered if there is anything wrong with them or is it could be due to weight loss.

Hi, thanks for your question. These appearances are likely to be due to a combination of breast development and weight fluctuations. If you have had children, this is also likely to have contributed to larger areola areas. A natural breast has slightly more volume above the nipple than below it, and your breast appearances would not be considered particularly abnormal, and nothing that you have described is concerning or to be worried about unless it impacts your psychological well-being or quality of life. You have some features that are in keeping with a very mild form of tuberous breast change. If you are considering enhancing the appearance of your breasts, then consult a surgeon with a specialist interest in this area.

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

You do not appear to have tuberous breasts and it may be related to the weight loss.  The technique I recommend is a breast lift using The Bellesoma Method.  This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.  Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained.  Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Best Wishes,
