Answer: Tuberous breasts Dear Glorious693218, 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: Teardrop implants with lowering IMF Hello Glorious693218 Tuberous breast is presented with insufficient lower pole volume and high located IMF while variable degree of breast tissue herniation inside the areola. To correct this problems it is wiser to choose teardrop implants in subfascial plane while lowering IMF via periareolar incision (to correct the herniation). Selection of the implant volume should be made due to the physical examination and your expectations Best Regards
