I’m a nineteen year old who has always felt like her breasts werent “normal”. My suspicions that they are odd have been confirmed by previous partners making me feel very insecure and self conscious with them. I was wondering how much could be done to fix them and how much this is likely to cost?

Answer: Breast Augmentation Hi, Let me start off by saying this is perfectly normal. You do have tuberous breasts. The key is to only pursue breast augmentation if they make you unhappy. Don't worry about what partners think, because I can promise you that when the right partner comes along, they will love you for you, not your breasts. Tuberous breast are caused by constricted lower pole of the breast. The good news is, this is absolutely fixable! With pocket modification and placement of breast implants your breasts can look drastically different. If your areolas are bothersome to you as well, they can be reduced at the same time. My recommendation to you is to find pictures of individuals with the same body shape with breasts that you find desirable. Make consultation appointments with Board Certified Plastic Surgeons in your area and bring those pictures with you so they have an idea of what look you want. Most surgeons offices will let you try on sizers to help you pick the size right for you. You may even be able to find an office in your area that has the Vectra 3D imaging like our office, which can provide you with before and projected after pictures so that you can have a better idea of what your body will look like with the type of breast implants you are considering. Hope this helps. Best Wishes, Dr. Lane SmithLas Vegas / Henderson NV

Answer: Tuberous breasts Thanks for your question. I'm sorry to hear your breasts are making you feel self-conscious. You do appear to have tuberous breasts, in that there is a raised breast fold, narrowed breast base, less lower pole breast tissue and puffiness of the areolae. It is usual in our practice to correct these issues at a single stage using a breast implant often combined with fat graft and an areolar reduction and repair. This would leave you with a scar around your areola and a second in the breast crease on each side. Quotes for this will vary considerably between practitioners, so it is worth looking around. However you shouldn't base your decision on cost alone - this is not the most straightforward breast surgery and I would also recommend you check the credentials of your surgeon and ask to see photos of previous corrections. Good luck!
