I think I have tuberous breasts, will they improve with implants even if the areola is not reduced? (photos)

Dear Madhf,
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.

It would be necessary to evaluate you in person to properly advise you specifically, however based on your photos it would be difficult to achieve attractive breasts without a breast lift, and this would indeed result in scars around the areola and vertical midline of the breast, along with a scar in the fold more than likely.

While we always try to heed our patients’ requests, we also need to share our knowledge and expertise with our patients.

A pretty breast is proportionate to the rest of the body, the correct nipple/areola position and size in relation to the remainder of the breast, and the desired degree of roundness, upper pole fullness, and ptosis (natural droop).

Please consult with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon whose results appeal to you based on his or her Before and After gallery. Best of luck to you.
