Thinking I might have tuberous breasts, but don’t want areola scars or implants. However I LOVE the shape of my breasts when the nipples are erect. When erect, the domed appearance of the nipple is reduced and the ENTIRE breast seems rounded and fuller and a very different shape. Is there a way to make the nipple/ breast shape like this permanently, through something like inverted nipple/ gynecomastia surgery but for women? If not, can tubular be corrected without areola scars or implants?

Answer: Tuberous breasts Dear Fantastic727510, 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: Normal beautiful breasts Dear Fantastic727510, In my opinion, you have normal beautiful breasts, no "tubular". Also, be aware that dynamic changes in nipple-areola size and shape are normal during erection, and that changes will naturally occur influenced by hormonal changes like during pregnancy and after breastfeeding. So, there is nothing wrong to be corrected. That said, if you want to enhance breast volume, you might consider fat grafting or implants. Hope this helps! Kind regards,:)Dr Bukret
