I am 19 years old and i think i have tuberous breasts. I have had this ever since i can remember. I firstly thought that my nipples were inverted but realised that i could have tuberous breasts? I was hoping in the near future to get this corrected as this is effecting me immensely and as pitiful as it may sound, i literally have zero confidence and can't even pluck up the courage to go to the doctors about it. Pllleaaseee hellpppppp.

Answer: Natural Breasts Thank you for your question.In the age of the internet, it is easy to compare yourself to others, and get a skewed sense of what is really out there. You have beautiful, natural appearing breasts. You may have very slight herniation at the nipple/areola creating "puffy nipples" but I wouldn't classify your breasts as tuberous. If you are concerned about the size, then a breast augmentation may help with your confidence. Your doctor may recommend an incision around your areola to flatten it a little bit, and this can be done at the same time as the breast augmentation or afterward (if it's needed, which it may not be). Be sure to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. It may take a bit of courage to go, but the surgeon should make you feel very much at ease, and you will likely walk away from the consultation wishing you had made the trip earlier. Best of luck!

Answer: Do I have a mild case of tuberous breasts? Thank you for your question and photos. It does look like you have some tuberous breast characteristics.Generally speaking, for “minor” tuberous breasts correction options vary. Sometimes it is possible to use breast implants only without an incision around the areola; patients potentially will contain to have a “puffy” areola appearance. In other cases of “minor” tuberous breast anomaly, breast augmentation and circumareola reduction may be selected as the operation of choice. Which operation the patient chooses will depend on the aesthetic result they are looking for. Some of the characteristics seen with tuberous breasts include a very narrow base, short distance from areola to inframammary fold, tight (constricted) lower pole of the breasts, relatively wide space between the breasts, "puffy" and areola and some degree of ptosis (drooping).
