Do I have tubular breast disease? (photos)

Question

I am covering spots of my body with a shirt and my hand because I have tattoos and I don't want someone to come across and see this and know it's me and show these pics off to the world.

Thank you for the photos. You do not appear to have tubular breasts. You have some normal breast asymmetry, and might have mildly puffy nipples (areolae). Perhaps this is why you are asking? If these are bothering you, they can be corrected. The best technique will depend on your medical history, a physical examination and most importantly, your goals.

H. Daniel Zegzula, MD · Answer

You have none of the sign of tuberous breasts.  Specifically, you do not have high and tight inframammary folds or breast tissue herniating into your areolas.  You don't have breast ptosis (droop).  Your breasts have a nice shape and are slightly asymmetric.  I wonder why you ask this question?

Based on your pictures you seem to have very healthy anatomy of your breast . It is important to mention that tuberous breasts is not a disease but a variant of breast anatomy , which usually only affects the appearance but not the function. Best wishes ,

Based on the photographs you have provided you do not have a tubular breast. All women have some degree of asymmetry of their breasts. A Tublar breast presents with a very high fold and a large areola with herniation and wide spacing between the breasts.

Thanks for your question and photosThese appear to be completely normal breasts, without finding we see in tubular breasts, which include "herniation" through the areolas, constriction with abnormal absence of tissue in the lower breast, high breast folds, wide separation of the breasts.Best wishes

You don't have tuberous breasts.   Your areolas are a little bit "puffy" but certainly within the range of "normal".

Ronald V. DeMars, MD (Retired) · Answer

You do not have tuberous breasts. Your breasts are moderately asymmetrical, but if you are interested in augmentation, the asymmetry can be reduced with that surgery by using different sized implants.
