Im getting a BA. My doc said I have a mild tuberous breast. Areolar Reduction is recommended & the BA alone wouldn't fix it. Is there another way to correct the puffiness of the areola? I do not want to have a 2nd surgery later. If I do not go through w/the reduction, will the puffiness be very noticeable? I really want it fixed but the reduction scares me, the scars, possible stretching of the scars, assymtrey, & that look of the areola looking rippled and fake worries me. Am I overthinking it?

Answer: Tuberous Breast correction, Best option for you 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: What other approach/technique is recommended for mild tuberous breast other than a areolar reduction? Thank you for your question! Given your photos, I do agree that it does appear that you have a mild tuberous breast/constricted breast deformity. For such a deformity, the standard procedure would be placement of an implant (or tissue expander, depending on the lower pole of your breast) as well as a circumareolar breast lift. These modalities would correct the issues with tuberous breast: constricted breast at the inferior pole, via breast prosthetic; scoring of the tissue to release the bands; lowering the inframammary fold; correcting the herniation of breast tissue into the areolae; and decreasing the overall size of the areolae. These are the hallmarks of tuberous breasts.While sometimes challenging to correct, I believe that you can get an excellent result, with your photos shown. Consult with a plastic surgeon well-versed in breast surgery and discuss your goals and expectations. S/he will then be able to examine and discuss the various options and assist you in deciding which decision os the right one for you, given your desires. I would expect a very pleasing result for you! Hope that this helps! Best wishes for a wonderful result!
