I've been to see a surgeon about my tuberous breasts. They felt that I had a mild case and would probably achieve a good result from implants and some scoring as the skin would stretch over time. They said that later down the line I could get a second surgery to correct the nipples if they didn't improve. However I'm concerned about the herniation of my nipples and feel that an implant may make them more pronounced. Do I need to get a second opinion and see if another surgeon would do a lift?

Answer: Will implants correct tuberous breasts I don't think your surgeon is completely wrong in the advice that hes given to you but it may take several months or even years for the problem to be corrected by implants alone. it depends on the size of the implant and the natural qualities of your tissue. You may feel that a circular, or doughnut, mastopexy might be a price worth paying to get the result that you need sooner.

Answer: Tuberous breasts Thank you for questions and pictures. From your pictures, it does appear that you have tuberous breasts and there are numerous procedures available to help with the treatment of this condition. There are certain treatment goals and different options that can be done. Some of these include expanding your breast circumference and the skin envelope of the lower part of your breast, reducing the areolar size and correcting the location of your nipple if you have some sagging, and increasing breast volume if appropriate. Treatment is guided by the individual needs but can include a breast lift, some scoring to help release constriction and permanent implants (or expandable permanent implants) to help with volume. I recommend you see your Plastic Surgeon again to go over your concerns and questions so that you two can evaluate your anatomy and navigate (with you) the the different possibilities to achieve your goals. Good luck!
