Are my breasts tubular? (photos)

Your breasts are not tubular. They are perfectly normal attractive breasts that happen to be small. If you would like your breasts larger a simple breast augmentation would be a great procedure for you. Good luck.

Unfortunately, surgeons have created the term tuberous breasts, a fact which causes unnecessary concerns for women. Many women just have different sizes and shapes and in my opinion shouldn't be labeled. I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Dear Eclectic983055,
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.

No, you do not have tubular, shaped like tubers, breasts but do have small breasts that sit a little far apart on your chest. You are quite normal. You would do well with an augmentation.

Just a bit small!Submuscular augmentation can do wonders!I sometimes do one or 2 sessions of fat transfer, but you do not seem to have the ... weight to do that!Implants (saline with axillary approach) or you settle for the idea that you will always have a small perky breast!

Hello and thanks for your pictures and questions. You don't have tuberous breast. It can be clearly seen that from the photos that you sent, you are a perfect candidate for the breast implant operation. You will have a very good result.
