Can my tuberous breast be fixed with breast augmentation alone? I want a natural look and I don’t want to have the scar of a breast lift or a areola reduction! I’m also wondering if a fat transfer with a breast augmentation would give me a more natural look and feel.
Answer: Absolutely There is not much to be gained by labeling someone with tuberous breasts. An operative plan should be developed based on your anatomy. Whether that is breast implantation, lift or reduction, symmetrization or some combination of procedures, there is no particular point in stigmatizing your breast shape. A properly trained, skilled and ethical plastic surgeon can develop a plan based on your anatomy and give you the outcome that you desire. I see absolutely no point in diagnosing someone with tuberous breasts or restricted base deformity. Stigmatizing a young person can have an effect on the way they perceive the outcome, even if it is outstanding.

Answer: Correction of Tuberous Breasts I don't believe that your tuberous breast deformity can be adequately corrected just by adding breast implants. The narrow constricted breast tissue pushing forward behind your nipples/areolae would still be there and would not blend smoothly into the rounded breast implant shape behind them. In order to create a nice rounded breast shape overall, you would need to have the constricted breast tissue treated to spread out over the front surface of the implants. This is very standard and can be performed through an incision around the areolae.

Answer: You need a lift You have a very difficult tuberous breast shape to repair. Implants alone will absolutely not be sufficient. A pursestring areolar reduction should provide fantastic improvement however. I do not suggest a vertical mastopexy as that reduces the width of the lower pole and that is where you are deficient of breast tissue.

Answer: Tuberous breast, hi< theres many ways to treat thus breast deformity, the main procedure is to do a periarolar incision, so that means the areola needs to be incised. augmentation alone will only improve the deformity, have a great day< Dr. C
