Since age 12 I noticed a difference in the size of my breasts. I recently had a consultation and was told I have at least 6 different deformities/abnormalities associated with my breast. Severe asymmetry,ptosis,tubular breast,one cockeyed nipple,areola too large,hernia in one breast,.... Are there really that many things wrong with my breast and if so what surfer is right for me to correct all these things? I was told that getting implants with my kind of breasts would be "asking for trouble".
Answer: Tuberous breasts I appreciate your question.You do have tuberous breasts which accounts for the many other things you describe. It is fixable and an implant will assist with this.We need to lower the fold and release the internal constrictions throughout he areola.A lift will be needed to decrease the size of the areolaThe best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Answer: Tuberous breast corrective surgery is cosmetic Based on your photos, you have tuberous breasts - which is a description for a spectrum of breast anatomy characterized by an elevated infra-mammary fold, a narrow breast foot print and some degree of areolar dilation. Corrective cosmetic surgery usually combines breast augmentation with breast lift procedures to reshape the breast.

Answer: What can I do to correct my breasts? You have two main issues-breast sagging with stretched out skin and enlarged areolae, and asymmetry both in the size of your breasts and their shape. All of the other terms you mentioned are related to these two issues. Surgery can certainly correct most of these issues, but absolute symmetry may not be achievable. Your breasts will definitely be much prettier and much more even, just not exactly even (most women do not have exactly even breast anyway).You will need implants to add volume and a breast lift to elevate the breast, decrease the areolae, and make them more symmetrical. Some surgeons opt to do this in two surgeries, while others like me, do both at the same operation. Some patients, regardless of which approach, will require additional correction once the breast have settled and the shape stabilized.See a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area.

Answer: What can I do to correct my breasts? If the appearance of your breasts concern you enough to do something about it, a combination of implants to provide greater fullness and a breast lift to improve the position and shape of the breasts will produce the best cosmetic result. Implants alone do not adequately lift the breast when there is significant sagging, no matter the size or the type, and will not produce a good cosmetic result in a patient who also needs some variation of a lift. Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do without examining you, physically feeling the tissue,assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest your plastic surgeon be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person and be very realistic about your potential cosmetic result. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla, California

Answer: What can I do to correct my breasts? Hello,Thank you for your question and photos. First of all, many asymmetries, ptosis and different areola anatomy are common. The degree to which this bothers you and you would like to correct it is the question. Your situation is complex- you do appear to have asymmetry, tuberous constriction, ptosis, etc. Breast lift with areola reduction, release of constriction and placement of breast implants could much improve the look of your breasts. In fact, silicone cohesive gel breast implants would be an important component of reshaping your breasts as they will help fill out and hold the breast's reshaped form after the lift. I recommend that you book a consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon who is very experienced in this type of work and can show you before and after photos related to your surgery.All the best!
