How do I know if I have tuberous breasts? (photo)

Based on your photos, your breasts do not seem to be tuberous but ptotic. They can be improved by lifting procedures along with the use of implants. It will best to consult a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in cosmetic breast surgery in person and discuss your goals and options after a physical examination.Hope this helps,Ali Rıza Öreroğlu, MD FEBOPRASEuropean and Turkish Board Certified Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeonIstanbul, Turkey

Your
breasts are not tuberous but ptotic.  I
recommend The Bellesoma Method to reshape your breast tissue creating upper
pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more
medial to increase your cleavage. 
Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation and the ability to breast
feed are maintained.  At the same time or
later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D. 

It doesn’t look like you have tuberous breasts.There is no constriction of tissue around your areolae, your areolae aren’t puffy  and you appear to have a visible breast fold that is indicative of a normal breast shape. If you’d like to reshape your breasts, you can consider a possible breast lift to make them perkier and breast augmentation to make them larger. Your nipples may also be reshaped to make them less “pointy”.

Hello and thank you for your question. You do not appear to have tuberous breasts.  You are a great candidate
for a breast augmentation.  The size, profile, and shape of the
implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall
measurements, and soft tissue quality.  This decision should
be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you
and your surgeon.  Make sure you
specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have
had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most important aspect is to find a
surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a
qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Based on your photograph, it does not appear that you have tuberous breasts.    You do have some breast asymmetry and breast sagging (ptosis). There are procedures that can correct these conditions and improve the appearance of your breasts. Seek a consultation from a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best wishes to you!

Anonymous.  More photos or physical exam would be helpful, but it appears from your photograph that you have slight breast asymmetry and small breasts, but not tuberous breasts. Your condition can easily be treated with breast augmentation. Be certain to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck.

Hi Anonymousplease14,

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.

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.

Dear Anonymousplease14,Your breasts are not tuberous.  "Pointy" does not appear to fit your breast shape description either.  Consultation with an American Board of Plastic Surgery board certified plastic surgeon can better define your current breast shape and personal goals and the options for you to create the changes to achieve those goals.  Many surgeons offer free consultation.  Good luck!

Thank you for your question. Based on the picture you do not have tuberous breasts. Please consult with a board certified PS for evaluation and to discuss your goals.

Your breasts do not appear tuberous. They just look a bit small.  An augmentation can improve their appearance.
