As the title states, I am a 24 year old that has had one puffy nipple that developed at the age of about 16. I do not have children, and have a 5', 95 lb frame. My breasts are a size B-C, but I am not happy with the puffiness of the areola and shape of my left breast, which is a bit tuberous. When cold/stimulated, the puffiness of the areola constricts and flattens and the breast becomes a rounder, more flattering shape like my right breast and I am much happier with it. What are my options?
Answer: Female puffy areola only one side, what can be done? (photos) All of these elements can usually be addressed in one surgery. Tuberous breasts usually require freeing of tissue that is constricted and releasing the IMF. The breast shape can be improved with a circumareolar incision. Consult in person with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the best treatment plan to reach your goals.

Answer: Areola reduction Thank you for your question. You would benefit from a circumareolar reduction which would involve an incision around the areola and reducing the volume that is pushing through/ herniating into the areola area.This can be carried out under local anaesthetic and usually takes about hour to do. I hope this is of help BW

Answer: Tuberous breasts You have a mild form of tuberous breasts. It can be improved with a circumareolar mastopexy. It is important to interview several local experts. You also should see the before and after results. You will have to justify the scar for the minor change that you will obtain since you have a minor form.

Answer: Tuberous breasts 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.

Answer: Tuberous Breasts I appreciate your concern and your photos demonstrate possible mild signs of constricted breasts. Breast augmentation technique in patients with all types of constricted breasts differ, depending on the degree of constricted breasts. Usually placement of sub muscular silicone implants with release of constricted inferior pole breast tissue is extremely effective, and may even improve your nipple situation. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon with lots of experience with constricted breasts. Good luck!
