I am getting surgery because I have tuberous breasts. They are currently between an A and a B, but I feel that with my size and medium frame they will be bigger after the surgery. (I read that Augmentation is one of the methods involved in correcting tuberous breasts.) So....how do I decide which size to get? Thank you!
Answer: Tuberous breast it is not possible to determine the size that will be best for you based on your height and weight. Implant selection is best performed in office what the surgeon and patient communicating goals, needs and limitations. Positions with 3-D modeling systems such as the Vectra can demonstrate with your implants will look like with a simulation. When it comes to tumors breasts sometimes tissue expansion may be needed in a two-stage procedure. With the first stage being placed out of the tissue expanders and expansion of the tissue to your desired size. The second stage is exchange of the Sizer for a permanent implant.
