Constricted/tubular or just small breasts? (photos)

Hello and thank you for your question. You are a great candidate
for a breast augmentation.  The size, profile, and shape of the
implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall
measurements, and soft tissue quality.  This decision should
be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you
and your surgeon.  This entire surgery
can be performed with a small incision technique.  Make sure you
specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have
had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most important aspect is to find a
surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a
qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Thank you for your question and photographs. Tuberous breasts exist along a spectrum of severity and are hallmarked by a few key appearances - an elevated, tight breast crease causing the breasts to be narrow.  Because the breast tissue in a tuberous breast pushes into the areola, you will see the areola be enlarged and "puffy".  Based on your pictures you do not appear to be tuberous, but rather small breasted.  Hope this helps. 

Hello,Thank you for your question and photos. You do not appear to have tuberous breast but perhaps some constriction in the lower poles which could be addressed during a breast augmentation surgery. I recommend that you seek a board certified Plastic Surgeon with plenty of experience in this area. They will examine you, discuss your goals and provide you with options. My patients find it helpful to try on implant sizers in the office with a form-fitting T-shirt in order to get an idea of how they will look. All the best

Tuberous breasts typically have a narrow base and herniation or puffiness of the areola. There can be a wide variation of appearance depending on the severity of the problem. On the basis of your photos I see no evidence of this. This and other variables will be addressed by your surgeon at the time of your consultation. It is important to consult a board certified plastic surgeon. Thanks for your question.

Thanks for your question. From the photos it does not appear that you have tuberous breasts. You appear to be an excellent candidate for a breast augmentation if you decide to undergo surgery. All the best with your upcoming surgery!

Thank you for your question. Based on the picture you do not have tubular breasts. You have small breasts with constriction of lower pole. Good luck with consult
