Was wondering if I have tubular breasts and I've already been looking into breast augmentation but would I also need a lift? Also around how much would it probably cost me?

Answer: Tuberous breasts Dear keishanicole93,tuberous breasts are not simply small or underdeveloped breasts. The appearance of the breast can range from mild to severe, and typical traits include: enlarged, puffy areola, rather wide spacing between the breasts, very little breast tissue, sagging, higher than normal inferior breast fold, and narrow base at the chest wall.The type of surgery best for you will depend on the severity of your condition.My preferred technique for tuberous breast correction involves a multistep procedure where the breast tissue is released in a radial pattern to prevent herniation into the areola and placement of a custom implant size is in the breast to allow appropriate expansion of the breast in the restricted dimensions. This can often be done in a single procedure but sometimes may require two surgeries.That said, it is best that you visit a board-certified plastic surgeon for an in person examination. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Not tubular, no lift… Thanks for your question and photo. An examination in person would be required to properly evaluate you but if you wish to be larger and fuller it appears that you would be an excellent candidate for a breast augmentation. Please consult with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon whose aesthetics align with your own based on his or her Before and After gallery. Do your research and be open to the possibility that it might be in your best interest to have more than one opinion. Best of luck to you.
