I had a breast augmentation with a Benelli lift. They were good (not porn star line I wanted) but last 2.5 years and now sag. I went from small saggy breasts to big saggy breast. My original surgeon is now saying I have tuberous breast which was never mentioned in the original surgery. I do not have deformed breats or big areolas, I do have a big crease in my right breast causing it to look deformed where it never was before as well as the areola being bigger when they were the same prior

Answer: Tuberous breasts Dear SWakitas, 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.The type of surgery best for you will depend on the severity of your condition.My preferred technique for tuberous breast correction involves a multistep procedure where the breast tissue is released in a radial pattern to prevent herniation into the areola and placement of a custom implant size is in the breast to allow appropriate expansion of the breast in the restricted dimensions. This can often be done in a single procedure but sometimes may require two surgeries.That said, it is best that you visit a board-certified plastic surgeon for an in person examination. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Breasts No, your breasts are not tuberous, but do sag. A full lift is needed to correct this. The Benelli lift is not sufficient to correct all the sagging, but only partially correct it. This is what was done. You probably would have done much better with a reduction, which includes a lift.
