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: Do I have tuberous breasts Many thanks for posting your question and photographs. I am sorry to hear of how self-conscious you are about your breast shape.From what I can see in the photographs, you do have a particular type of shape referred to as tuberous (or sometimes tubular). There are a variety of approaches that can be taken to re-shape your breasts. Personally, I tend to do this as a one-stage operation, that leaves a scar around the areola and a small scar under the breast crease.Please ensure you see a plastic surgeon with experience in tuberous breast surgery, as it can be challenging to get a good result.I hope this helps, and wish you luck taking things forwards.

Answer: Tuberous Thank you for your question and photographs and so sorry to hear that you have been made to feel insecure about your appearance. Tuberous breasts present in different degrees of severity. Three hallmark feature of tuberous breasts include enlarged areolas, herniation of breast tissue through the areola, and a constricted base. Your photograph indicates that you do, in fact have some of these features. My advice would be to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon should you wish to consider a better breast shape and appearance. Surgery costs do vary by geographical area and experience. Best of luck.

Answer: Tuberous breasts Dear Tigress56,tuberous breasts are not simply small or underdeveloped breasts. The appearance of the breast can range from mild to severe, and typical traits include: enlarged, puffy areola, rather wide spacing between the breasts, very little breast tissue, sagging, higher than normal inferior breast fold, and narrow base at the chest wall.

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
