How could I get a natural attractive shape to my breasts. They are mishapen and cone shaped. I want a good C sized cup if possible. I don't fit well into any bras. I am self conscious of them. A lactation consultant had said I had tubular breast deformity and I was unable to nurse my son exclusively due to the lack of glandular tissue. How much will fixing it cost? I'm in Florida thank you.

Answer: How to fix Tuberous Breast deformity? Hi Lilly,Thanks for your question and photos. You certainly have tuberous breast deformity. You will need a breast lift, nipple reduction and breast augmentation with releasing of your tight breast tissue. It will take months for the implants to stretch your skin to make them look natural. A full C is an option. All these procedures could be done at once but you may need a revision. Cost is based on what you want done or what you expect to see. It is certainly correctable. See several board certified plastic surgeons. Good Luck!

Answer: Your lactation consultant knows their business It does appear that you have tuberous breasts. Tuberous breast can range in severity starting with a mild tightness of the lower portion of the breast all the way to cone shaped breasts that appear almost sock-like with herniation of the breast tissue into the areolas. In more severe cases like yours you want to be sure to see a board certified plastic surgeon that is comfortable treating this type of breast. You should expect to hear your doctor talk about releasing the constrictive fibers in the lower pole of the breast. I find that using a firmer gel implant ("gummy-bear") on top of the muscle tends to give better results. Because you are thin with very little breast tissue you may consider using a tear-drop shaped implant so that it does't look too fake. That is often a problem with implants over the muscle. By placing the implants over the muscle it does a better job at reshaping the tight lower pole of the breast and stretching the skin to give a rounder shape to the bottom part of the breast.Sometimes you also require a circumareolar incision to improve treat the "pointy" appearance of the areolas/nipples. But, this is something that can also be done at a later date if the augmentation isn't able to improve the areola appearance once the fibers have been cut.
