35 yo female, never pregnant. I saw a PS yesterday who told me I had constricted breasts, one more severe than the other, both affected and quite ptotic for never having children. Is this the same as tuberous breast deformity, a congenital anomaly? Do you agree with this diagnosis? If so, I am looking for a surgeon who is experienced with remedying this issue through augmentation. I would also like areola reduction.
Answer: Peri-areolar mastopexy and breast augmentation will give you great result Tuberous breast deformity is a type of severe constricted breast deformity when breast the shape is tubular. However, in your case it seems to be milder example of constricted breasts (not yet tuberous). Your areolas are wide and there is visible breast ptosis, therefore I would recommend peri-areolar mastopexy (breast lift) and breast augmentation with implant. For the most satisfying and natural effect I also recommend getting fat grafting in the wide intermammary span.

Answer: Constricted Breasts Hello and thank you for your question. Based on the photographs I would recommend an evaluation with a board-certified plastic surgeon that is going to measure you accurately. Tuberous breast and constricted breast deformity is the same by definition. This is a congenital anomaly produced from birth. I do agree with the diagnosis. This can easily be corrected by performing a breast augmentation above the muscle, scoring the breast gland from the inside to release the contracture bands that caused the tuberosity, reduce the areola circumference and lift the breast. All of this can be done in a single operation and can provide excellent results.

Answer: Constricted breast vs tuberous breast Futurerose, you have mildly constricted breasts or a very mild form of tuberous breast, and some size asymmetry. for your best results, I would recommend bilateral areolar reductions with a small reduction on the right followed by bilateral breast augmentation at 3-6 months to expand the base of both breast. Alternatively, bilateral breast fat grafting can be done with the areolar reductions for about 1/2 cup size increase, or the augmentation could be done at the same time with a little higher revision rate, as there will be more tension on your breast incisions. Hope this helps!

Answer: Constricted breasts It does appear you have some constriction of the breasts. A breast lift with implants would help raise the position of the nipple, improve symmetry and give you more upper pole volume. As part of the procedure the areola would be downsized to be in better harmony with the rest of the breast.

Answer: Breasts You may have some mild constriction, especially in the smaller breasts, but breasts are not twins, but sisters. All tuberous breasts have constricted bases, but not all constricted breasts are tuberous. However, you do not have tuberous breasts. This is a developmental and not congenital problem. You were not born with developed breasts.
