Do you think I have tubular breasts, how severe just by looking at photos? I have a consult soon. I have breastfed 2. Do you think I need a Lift as well? I want an areola reduction. Will either the lift or areola reduction cut my milk ducts? Thank you.
Answer: Tuberous breasts? From your photos it does not appear that you have tuberous breasts. A breast augmentation with a lift can help restore volume and raise the nipple position. The areola can be downsized as part of the lifting procedure. I've included a video I hope you find helpful that addresses how these procedures can potentially impact future breastfeeding.

Answer: Lift and areolas reduction will not damage your milk ducts Thank you for your question. Tubular breast is a serious case of tuberous breast, but in your case, I can see a regular tuberous breast case. In your case, breast lift (mastopexy), areolar reduction and implant augmentation should be performed for the best effect. After performing this surgery your milk ducts won’t be damaged and you can breastfeed again. However, you must take into consideration that after you breastfeed again, the shape can change, thus I would advise to undergo the surgery, after you won’t plan to give a birth again.

Answer: Breast lift Your breasts don’t appear to have any constriction of tissue around the nipples, and you have a distinct breast fold. Rather, they appear to be sagging. A lift can be performed to make your breasts rounder and perkier, while an areola reduction can be performed at the same time. Any cosmetic breast surgery has associated risks related to breastfeeding. The procedure may negatively impact your ability to breastfeed, therefore you’ll need to consider whether the risks outweigh the benefits.

Answer: Lift needed, areola reduction with lift should not affect milk ducts 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.

Answer: Bellesoma Method Your breasts are not tuberous. The technique I recommend is a lift using The Bellesoma Method. This will 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 (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.
