27, diagnosed with PCOS - Do I have tubular breasts? (Photos)

Thanks for your question! I don't think you have any sort of tubular breast deformity, but this is just the way you were made. If you want to improve shape, size, etc., I do think you would be a good candidate for an implant. Best of luck!

You do not have tubular breasts, you have small and widely separated breasts. You would benefit from a circumareola approach to move the nipple-areola complex more medial. At the same time, small low profile implants can be placed with dissection medially to give more cleavage. Another alternative would be simultaneous fat transfers medially to give more medial volume.

Best Wishes,

The shape and size may change in the future with significant weight change and/or pregnancy. The milk in the breasts, during pregnancy, might stretch. When the milk disappears, the breast might be the same size and shape, or bigger, smaller, or droopier. And this phenomenon could change from pregnancy to pregnancy Unfortunately, surgeons have created the term tuberous breasts, a fact which causes unnecessary concerns for women. Many women just have different sizes and shapes and in my opinion shouldn't be labeled. If interested, I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.
