Ive always been very self conscious of my breasts. I never let anyone see them, and my self confidence is very low. I have been thinking about getting a breast augumentation for a long time and after doing research, have realised my case might not be as simple as a normal procedure. I don't really care much for size, would like them a tiny bit larger, but more concerned with with shape.
Answer: Tubular breasts? Hello, the photos do not show your entire chest but it appears that one breast might have mild tuberous features. In my region a person must have a very pronounced tuberous shape or other severe shape abnormality to qualify for coverage, but you could check locally.

Answer: Tuberous breasts your photos do look like you have tuberous (constricted) breasts. You should be covered under Medicare, but there is a possibility this may be removed from Medicare in the near future, so you should see an experienced plastic surgeon asap. Regards, Dr Steve Merten, Sydney

Answer: Are my breasts tubular? Would I qualify for a medicare rebate? Thank you for your question and images. From the images that you have provided there is some tightening of the skin below the nipple and a relatively short distance from the nipple to the fold. Although there may be a very mild form of tuberous breasts I do not think that you would meet the medicare criteria for tuberous breast. I have had a patient recently, with a very similar breast shape that was not accepted. The process for approval is to first see a specialist for a clinical assessment and and then send your pictures to the medical claims review panel. Unfortunately, though I do not think they would approve your case.RegardsDr Guy Watts

Answer: Correcting Breast Deformity with fat transfer There are a variety of congenital breast deformities including tuberous/tubular breasts, Poland Syndrome, and asymmetry. In many breast deformity cases there is internal tissue that contracts and distorts the breast and tissue around it. In your case there does appear to be constriction. But you would need a consultation to diagnose it as such. We specialize in correcting deformities of all types through the most natural method: with your own fat. It's very successful and the results are permanent. Patients from all over the world come have this procedure. In the US, some patients have been covered through their insurance, but not many.
