I’m 28 f. Never have been pregnant. Average weight. I’m pretty sure I have tuberous breasts but just want confirmation. Is it possible to get fat transfer to correct? I’m worried implants won’t feel like real breast tissue. Also if I were to get a nipple reduction would that effect nipple sensitivity? The areolas also shrink significantly when cold or aroused, would that affect the procedure? Thank you!

I would suggest getting an ultrasound and possible mammogram to check each lump. You may have some fat necrosis from the transfer, but it is best to check to make sure it is not something else. Usually most of the fat necrosis occurs early in the first 6 months.
You do not have tuberous breasts. Implants placed behind the muscle would help enlarge your breasts and minimize the puffy nipples as they were stretched. Your nipples will still point outward since this is your anatomy, but some improvement could be made.
In general, 200 cc per breast is typically the upper limit of fat injection recommended by most plastic surgeons. It is not that more cannot be injected; but on average, this has been determined to be the most that can be expected to live during one transfer. Multiple transfers would be required...
