Do I have tuberose breasts or just pointed nipples. Should I use high or moderate profile so my nipples don't point downward. Will implants 295 moderate or 325 high be appropriate helping the pointyness and the short distance between the natural crease. Will implants alone help my nipples and areola not be pointy and what to do to avoid my nipples pointing downward .
Answer: Breast augmentation I see everyone telling you that you need a lift. I would not recommend that. I would start with just implants and allow 6-12 months for stretching. At that point, if you are not happy with your appearance, then consider a lift, but it may be less involved with less scarring, such as a crescent nipple lift only. I can only guess from just a photo, but I think there is a good chance that implants only will make you happy.Good luck,Greg Sexton, M.D.Columbia, S.C.

Answer: I have pointed areolas and pointy breast. Would implants alone fix this? Hello and thank you for the question and sharing your photos. I do believe you have elements of tuberous breasts, including high inframammary crease, constricted lower pole and herniation of breast tissue into areola. You area a great candidate for breast augmentation. When doing breast augmentation for tuberous breasts, it is often recommended to do scoring of the lower pole for better expansion. I would consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a formal evaluation. Best,

Answer: No Vertical Scar Lift instead of implants Implants alone will not solve your problem. Your breasts are too low on the chest wall. You would benefit from a breast lift using the no vertical scar technique. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired. Implants are not lifetime devices. 6% fail within the first year and 30% fail within six years. Fat transfers are permanent and incorporated into the body.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Tuberous breasts and Implants Hello! Thank you for your question- I receive a lot of questions like this in my office. For the best result, you would benefit from breast implants placed under the muscle with a mastopexy (breast lift) at the same time. If you were to only have breast implants, your breast shape would be slightly more rounded, but your nipples would likely still protrude and point downwards. After a lift, the implant sizing between a moderate profile and high profile is really just a preference for how full of a breast you are seeking. Both profiles of implants can help with stretching the short distance between the nipple and inframammary crease. Please feel free to view before and after photos of patients with breast implants and mastopexy at the same time.
