I’m 24 and have tiny boobs; Are my breasts tubular?

Thank you for your question. Based on your photos, it does not appear that you have tubular breasts. All breasts are asymmetrical, no two breasts are the same. However, if you decide on surgery in the future, please see a board certified plastic surgeon. 

Tuberous breast is not, technically speaking, a "yes" or "no" question. There can be different points on the continuum. The typical hallmarks include a high, tight fold with "puffy" or distended areola, minimal breast tissue and potentially herniation of the breast tissue through a tightened ring thus the "tuberous" label. It is a congenital deformity which usually manifests at puberty. To what degree it manifests will vary from one patient to the next.
Treatment of tuberous breasts varies depending on the degree of the breast architectural distortion. Surgical correction typically involves:
-areolar reduction
-submuscular augmentation
-release of constricted breast tissue
All of these techniques work in concert to correct the tuberous deformation of the breast.
Based upon your photos alone, you do not appear to have a tuberous deformity. Asymmetry is the rule rather than the exception. You would benefit from an augmentation.
As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

Thank your for your question.  Based on the photos provide your breasts appear to have a normal shape so they do not have typical tuberous features (such as prominent "pseudoherniated" nipples, narrow base, not much tissue inferior to the areola, etc).  

Good afternoon!Nope- not even a little bit tuberous. You just have the normal asymmetry that many women have. If you were to have augmentation it would be important to carefully select two different implants to achieve the best possible symmetry postop.I have attached a link to my Breast Augmentation photo gallery for your review- hope it helps!

Thanks for your question. From your photos you do not appear to have tubular breasts. Tubular breasts should include herniation of breast tissues through a widened nipple-areola complex, and a constricted lower pole to the breasts. You do no appear to have either of these, however an examination is required to properly assess lower pole tightness. The degree of asymmetry you have between your breasts is quite normal. You look like a great candidate for breast augmentation if this is what you are considering.

Hello and thank you for your question.  You do not appear to have tuberous breasts.  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. From the pictures, I do not think you have a tuberous breast deformity, which is characterized by herniation of the breast parenchyma through the nipple areolar complex and by a tight, constricted lower pole and IMF. Surgery for this usually involves radial scoring of the parenchyma and adjustments to the IMF and is difficult to achieve precise and reproducible results. Fortunately, you have normal, beautiful breasts, and you should have fantastic results with a breast augmentation if you are considering the surgery. Be sure to seek consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. 

Good luck,

Hi, thanks for sharing your concern and photos with us!
Looking at your photos I might say that you don't look like you have tubular breast. If you want a bigger size you can consider´ getting a breast augmentation with implants. The size of the implant will depend of what you want and what your body support; the results of this procedure are beautiful, giving you and excellent shape of the inner and outer pole of the breast. 

Before all this, of course, you need to get a complete medical evaluation and laboratory exams to check everything is fine. Also please try to find a board certified plastic surgeon, remember that your safety, always, is going to be first.

Have a great day!

Based on the photos presented the diagnosis is not tubular breast deformity. Also breast asymmetry is a normal finding. The treatment of this is breast augmentation. Several techniques, pockets, implant shapes... etc have been described. The most recent advancements include tissue based planning, dual plane pocket, and using a special funnel for insertion. Make sure you check with an ASAPS member well versed in breast augmentation to make sure you get the results you want in the safest way you can.

Hello, Your breasts are normal, not tubular. Breast implants will be perfect for increasing the size of your breasts , for creating cleavage and for upper pole fullness. You have some asymmetry , but to me, it does not seem very obvious. You can opt for same size implants on both sides or different sized implants, for better symmetry . Best Wishes.
