Tuberous Breasts implants with no lift?

Question

I went to my plastic surgeon this week to discuss breast augmentation for my Tuberous breasts. He recommended a lift with implants. However, I cant afford the lift and only can afford the implants. He told me he would do the surgery with no lift but I am worried what it will look like. Does anyone have experience/photos of tuberous breast augmentation with no lift?

Leo McCafferty, MD · Answer

Tuberous breasts, otherwise known as constricted breasts, often can be treated with implants alone.  This is coupled with making adjustments to the lower half of the breasts and sometimes the crease just below the breast.  If there is a significant tuberous quality withiout significant drooping a minimal lift with in incision around the areola is all that's necessary.  If there is a large 'droop component' to your breasts then I wouldn't take any shortcuts - a lift would be necessary.  Tuberous breasts is a very difficult problem so please make sure you see a board-certified plastic surgeon, and often a second opinion is worthwhile.

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 Breast Augmentation.  Always insist on a board certified plastic surgeon.

Thanks for sharing your question. Its very important to have some photos to give you a better advice of what you really need. But a personal evaluation is the best you can have to determine what's best for you. I recommend you to tell your surgeon very clear what are your wishing results. Good luck.

It would be helpful if you provided photos. It depends on the severity of your tuberous breast. Some patients just need an incision around the areola to help shape the breast.

Thanks for your question. You could finance the difference with Alphaeon or do the lift later. You will get your volume now, but not an ideal result without the lift. Performing the lift at a second procedure is reasonable in most cases.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO :)
