I am 20 years old and looking to correct my moderate tuberous breasts. So far, the advice I have gotten from doctors and the internet point to doing a gummy bear implant under the muscle, but I'm unsure if I should go with a periareolar incision or an incision under the breast fold. I don't see how an incision under the fold would do anything to correct the puffiness of my areolas, which is something I am looking for. Thoughts?
Answer: Tubular breasts You have significant areolar herniation and a very constricted lower pole. The periareolar approach in which the areolar herniation is corrected along with a textured shaped implant is the best approach but due to your tight skin envelope, you may only obtain a modest size improvement. If you would like a larger breast, you may need to consider an expander to stretch the skin before the final implant is placed.

Answer: What is the best incision method to correct tuberous breast deformities? I appreciate your question. Constricted or tubular breasts tend to be too narrow with a breast crease that is too high. Tight ring-like bands of tissue around the areolae and nipples may create the appearance of protruding or puffy areolae. A higher than normal breast crease may make your nipples appear to be too low or down pointing. Constricted breast features can be very mild or severe. In fact, mild variations are relatively common. To summarize, the features can include:Inframammary fold (breast crease) too highInframammary fold misshapenBreasts too narrow (disproportionately narrow base width)Insufficient breast skinConstricted or tubular shape, resulting from tight bands of tissue within breastsProtruding or bulging appearance of areolae (pigmented area around nipples) Improvement is possible and generally includes a breast augmentation, sometimes combined with a lift (mastopexy). The lift is usually limited to an incision around the areolae. During the procedure, I release the tight, constricting bands from the inside, allowing the skin to expand properly. I also lower the inframammary fold to a more ideal position and improve its shape. Breast implants help create the right amount of volume and improve breast contours, resulting in a more rounded or tear drop shape. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery. Best of luck!

Answer: Tuberous breast correction, some advices: Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.After having analyzed all the information and photos provided to us, i can identify that you have a underveloped and mild tubular Breast. I recommend you perform a Tubular Breasts Correction with Breast Augmentation using silicon implants, at the same surgical time.There is a surgical technique for Tuberous Breasts correction, by which it is arranged the tuberous areolar ring from inside, without requiring areolar reduction. In this technique we also need silicon implants, to get a better Breast volume and projection.Therefore it is very important that the plastic surgeon who will perform the surgery, has the skills and vast experience in this type of procedure.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Answer: Tuberous breast An incision in the inframammary fold allows access to release the breast tissue and areolae. It also allows for dual plane insertion of implants.An exam and full discussion with a plastic surgeon is recommended to answer all of your questions.

Answer: Fat augmentation I agree that Fat augmentation is a great choice and should be investigated. It can give very natural and permanent results. A period of breast expansion (BRAVA) would be needed beforehand. Best of luck.
