I'm 18 and I've some tuberous breast characteristics: large areolas, breast far apart (6-7 cm), pear shape, high inframammary fold with exception of the flattened lower pole which instead looks fine. But they have this shape ONLY when I'm hot, like after taking off clothes (1). Shortly after, they become firmer and rounder (2). When cold they become even more fuller. They often change shape with temperature. Tub are most 1/4 or 2/4, but some specialists have different opinions, so I'm confused.
Answer: Tuberous breasts? Thank you for your question. Your question brings up a number of points that I try to pass on to patients. Like any other bodily feature, breasts come in all shapes and sizes, and there is no one right configuration. Some are small, some are large and pendulous, some are close together and some are far apart. There is a large spectrum of body morphology and we tend to be brainwashed into thinking there is only one ideal shape. As your post mentions, breasts change over the long run, and even over the short term, depending upon environmental conditions, age, and health circumstances. We have coined the term "tuberous breast to refer to a condition where there is a restricted base and a large, often herniated areolar complex. In some patients, this is very obvious, with substantial asymmetry. I believe that many breast that we would consider in the normal range have features of tuberous breast, in a milder form. This can effect the outcome but the result can still be very attractive. Just realize that there are some things that we cannot alter because of preoperative conditions. An experienced breast surgeon can compensate for these irregularities, but we are ultimately are limited by the baseline anatomy

Answer: Are my breasts tuberous? Based on your photos you do not have tuberous breasts. Your breasts are more widely set which is influenced by your sternum (breastbone). If you are unhappy with their appearance you can consider breast augmentation. This would give you more volume, including the upper pole of the breasts. I encourage you to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Answer: Breasts You do not have tuberous breasts, shaped like tubers, but do have some mild sagging. If you would like to consider a change, an augmentation with lift, or just an augmentation would work well for you.

Answer: Just east-west shape If desired, I recommend an in person evaluation by a plastic surgeon to be measured and discuss your goals. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what is right for them.
