I never felt like they developed properly and now I feel like my one breast is rounder and fuller than the other. After researching I came across tubular breasts; do I have these? Or do I just have asymmetric small breasts ? :-(
Answer: Tubular breasts? 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.

Answer: Tuberous? 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).

Answer: Tubular breasts? 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).

Answer: Tuberous? 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!

Answer: Tubular breasts 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.

Answer: Breast augmentation 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.
