Why are my boobs so ugly? (Photos)

Question

I have always hated my breasts. The areolas are huge - my nipples are flat unless aroused or cold, and they're just generally a really ugly bunch!! I have had two children however they never changed through either pregnancy. It was virtually impossible for me to breast feed as my nipples are so flat! Is there a scientific term for ugly boobs like this? Or is it simply, every breast is different and I wasn't very blessed ?

Far more important than the technique is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon. Choose your surgeon rather than the technique and let them explain why one technique may be better than another. See the below link on some suggestions on finding the most qualified Plastic Surgeon for a BBL Always insist on a board certified plastic surgeon.

Thank you very much for enquire.After having analyzed all the information and photos provided to us, I realize that you have very sagging and small breasts. In this regard, you need volume (implants) and projection (the lift): Breast Augmentation w/Breast Lift.I recommend you to use microtexturized highly cohesive silicon implant ("gummy bear" implants), with high projection, and 550ml will be excelent on you, to fill the breasts properly.Finally, to perform the breast lift I recommend a Periareolar Round Block Breast Lift ("Benelli mastopexy"), which has an unnoticed scar around the areola, and if we see (in the surgery) that we can't obtain adecuate projection just with the Benelli Lift, we have to perform a "Lollipop breast lift".Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Repair includes both high profile implants and breast lifts. The base must also be released to reduce the tubular shape

Dear lolipop,   Sorry for your frustration with your breasts. Here are the good news - surgery can improve your breasts. From observing your pictures, you appear to have tubular breasts - small ptotic breasts with large herniating areolas.    The best way to give you attractive breasts is by getting breasts augmentation with implants and mini lift (donut, Benneli). The procedure will give you perky breasts with nice cleavage and smaller more attractive areolas. You can discuss with your surgeon the breasts' cup size that will make you comfortable.    You have to realize that not all results are the same, because experience, skills and aesthetic eye are critical for good outcome. So, do your due diligence carefully and choose your surgeon wisely.       Always, consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who do their surgeries in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures in the photo gallery, to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive. Also, check the reviews on 'RealSelf' for ratings and positive experience reports.                                    Best of luck,                                                           Dr Widder

The "ideal" breast would have nipples above the fold under the breasts, proportionately smaller areolae, and better symmetry. A breast lift (and maybe implants) would likely help. Please consult with a BC PS to discuss. Best of luck to you.

Thank you for your question and photos.  I would start with a face to face consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who has experience in breast surgery. During your visit your surgeon should be evaluating your health to determine if you are a good surgical candidate and examining your tissues to get a sense of what type of procedure your tissues will allow. During your consultation you and your surgeon should discuss your goals and once this is clear you would be given your options.  There is a lot to consider and getting the correct information from a trusted source is the best place to start.  You should look at the American Society of Plastic Surgeons web site to find a listing of Board Certified Plastic Surgeons in your area.  Good luck.

Hello,Thank you for your question and photos. Yes, a variety of breast shapes are normal but having said that it does appear based on the photos that you have some of the characteristics of tuberous breast constriction which would include enlarged, herniated or puffy nipples with constricted breast bases/tight lower poles. There is also ptosis or sagging present which many women experience- especially after breastfeeding. I recommend that you met with a board certified Plastic Surgeon in person to discuss what you would like to change. A lift procedure, areola reduction or some combination of these with an implant could help to reshape and lift your breasts while addressing some of the issues you have with your areola appearance. It will be most helpful for you to be examined and measured in person.All the best

You have all of the signs of a Tuberous Breast!   This is easily corrected with a Breast Lift, with or without an Implant, depending if you want to be larger or not.   In either case, you can have beautiful breasts!

Robert Stroup, Jr., MD, FACS · Answer

The ideal aesthetic for breasts will vary from individual to individual and culture to culture.  That said, most would agree on a few things.  The breast mound should be sitting higher up on the chest wall, and the nipple-areolar complex (NAC) should be about 2 inches in diameter and located above the fold under the breast.  You have a variation of the "tuberous" breast deformity.  The NAC is overly large and the breast tissue appears to be "puffing" or herniating into it, and your breasts are very saggy.  The one feature of tuberous breasts you do not have is a narrow base.  You would benefit from a breast lift to correct these problems.  You could also consider an augmentation at the same time if you would like to be a little bigger.  Best you should have a consultation with an experienced, board-certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your options.  Best of luck.
