the nipple is flat and the areola is very large and puffy in its relaxed state. my breasts also take a sort of triangular shape in relaxed state, is there any way to fix this? also i'm wondering if a nipple piercing will make the actual nipple stick out, even when in relaxed state? or will it just be uncomfortable for me when the nipple is not erect? thank you.
Answer: Mini Ultimate Breast Lift for tubular breasts
Your breasts look like this because you have tubular breasts. If your cup size is adequate then you do not need implants. If your cup size is inadequate then you need implants. You are an excellent candidate for a new procedure called The Mini Ultimate Breast Lift. This will reduce the size of the areolas, elevate the breast tissue higher on the chest wall and give the natural appearance that you desire, leaving only a scar at the areola-skin junction. At the same time, implants can be placed if desired.
Best Wishes,
Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Why Do my Breasts Look Like This? (photo)
Your breasts have large, "puffy" areolas, a narrow footprint and some droop, or ptosis.
Based on your photo (a physical exam and measurements would be essential if we were doing this for real) I recommend a breast lift with augmentation.
There are, as you know, different types of breast lift and implants.
You should see an experienced aesthetic breast surgeon to explore your options.
Good luck!

Answer: Possibly Tuberous Breasts Thank you for your question. You exhibit some of the signs of tuberous breasts, which are: constricted breast base, high-riding inframammary fold, and herniation of the breast grandular tissue into the areolar ring. If you were to desire a somewhat larger, fuller breast with tuberous breasts, you would need to undergo a modified breast augmentation procedure. In addition to placing a breast implant, a plastic surgeon would need to perform radial scoring of the breast grandular tissue from the inside and to lower the inframammary fold.Regarding nipple piercing, it won't be uncomfortable, but it is possible that it will make the nipple protrude more than you want even when the nipple is relaxed.

Answer: Tubular Breast Deformity Breasts come in all shapes and sizes and significant variations in breast contour are common amongst women. One of the more commonly seen breast variants is the tubular breast deformity. This is also frequently referred to as a constricted breast deformity. Your pictures suggest the presence of a moderate tubular breast deformity.The condition occurs because of constriction of the skin at the base of the breast. This often results in herniation of the breast tissue through the areola which creates a unique breast shape. The vast majority of constricted breast deformities are relatively mild and treatment may not be necessary. Severe cases of this condition occasionally occur and do require treatment because of the magnitude of the breast deformity.A variety of approaches can be used to correct this problem. In some cases, breast lift and breast augmentation may be necessary. Treatments should be individualized based on the specifics of the anatomic deformity and the aesthetic goals of the patient.Based on your history and pictures, I believe you would benefit from combination breast augmentation/breast lift surgery. If you're considering correction of this problem, consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is appropriate. This surgeon should be able to address both your unique anatomic findings and aesthetic concerns.

Answer: Breast shape The appearance of your breasts are based on genetics and the effects of gravity/aging/pregnancy. These can all contribute to enlarged areolae and sagging. To address these issues, a breast lift and areola reduction can help.
