I am a 21 year old female with mild-moderate tuberous breasts. I've always been unhappy and very self conscious with the look of my breasts and am looking into corrective surgery. However, I would like to avoid implant if possible. Can my breasts be corrected without the use of an implant? Or are implant the only option?
Answer: Surgical options for mild tuberous breast correction Hi there, Based on the photos you supplied, you do appear to have a mild degree of tuberous breasts. It is a constricted breast base condition characterised by deficiency of breast tissue in the lower pole, high inframammary folds and enlarged nipple areolar complex. Your ideal surgical recommendation will depend on your desires and expectations with regards to the size, shape and symmetry of your new breasts as well as your acceptance of appropriate scarring on your breast mound. In my opinion, the best surgical approach for your situation would be a primary breast augmentation with anatomical shaped implants in a dual plane pocket approach for expanding the lower pole deficiency, enhancing the upper pole fullness as well as increasing the overall breast volume with an elegant natural shape definition. With scar well hidden in the breast crease, there won't be any visible scar on the breast mounds to be worried about. However, knowing that you prefer not to have implants if possible, I think you also appear to be a potential candidate for consideration of breast fat grafting to the breast lower pole. A Benelli or peri-areolar mastopexy approach can also be incorporated as part of your breast lift procedure in reshaping your nipple areolar complex with a more favourable dimension and proportion to your new breast mounds. It'll be best to see a specialist plastic surgeon with vast experience in treating these conditions for further assessment and detailed advice regarding the best treatment approach in your particular situation.

Answer: Tuberous Breast Thank you for your question and photos. A purse string mastopexy would improve the shape of your breast without an implant. This would leave you with a scar around the areola. If you combined this with a fat grafting you could increase the size of the breast as well. I recommend you schedule a consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your specific concerns.
