What can I do to correct my breasts? (Photo)

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

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.

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.

You have a complex situation. Make sure you see a very experienced breast surgeon in your area. More than one consultation is a good idea.

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!

Thank you for the post and for the photos.  I can appreciate that the anatomy of your breasts does present some challenges but this by no way precludes you from surgery.  In point of fact, I think a breast lift with areaolar reduction and implant could give you a dramatic and pleasing result.  Make sure you seek out an experienced board certified plastic surgeon.  Good luck!

Hi, I have attached a link that might be helpful...Hi shadylady32.  Thank you for your photos.  All women experience varying degrees of asymmetry between their breasts position, volume, shape, etc.  You would benefit from a breast lift and implant placement.  Seek consultation from an ABPS certified Plastic surgeon so that you can get expert guidance.  You will not have a pleasing look with implants alone. Good luck!

It appears as though you can get a nice result with breast implants and a lift at the same time.  This will restore volume to the breasts while lifting them in to a more aesthetic position.

You have  a very challenging set of problems with your breasts, including a degree of tuberous breast as previously described. You also appear to have the classic post-massive weight loss breast including severe ptosis, stretched lower pole and an indistinct IMF. You also have a lot of stretch marks on your abdomen and arms suggesting weight loss. Your problems can be improved significantly with a breast lift with implants and areola reduction. This can be a tricky procedure and revisions are not unexpected. You should seek consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who has extensive experience with revision and tuberous breast  surgery.

Breast asymmetries are absolutely normal. What you have are tuberous breast, ptosis (sagging), and a size discrepancy. You represent a challenging case but, in the right hands, will see a dramatic improvement. I would likely recommend an augmentation with cohesive gel implants (different sizes to correct the volume discrepancy), a breast lift, and reduction of your areolar diameter. For more detail, I would have to see you in consultation. Best of luck...
