I am 35 years old and have been unhappy with my breasts all my life. Looking to lose 4 stone (I have done this before) then possibly get my breasts sorted out. One is an AA & one is a C cup. Even when I was 12 years old, this was how they grew in. In my twenties I got down to half the weight I am now (7 stone vs now 14 stone) and if anything my breasts looked worse. It was very disheartening. I recently came across the concept of tuberous breasts. Is that what is going on?
Answer: Breast asymmetry and tuberous breasts Thanks for your question. Based on your photographs, you have a challenging case of breast asymmetry and also an element of tuberous breast change, especially on the left side. This could be addressed by altering the skin envelope to reduce the size of the nipple-areola complex, lift the breasts and reshape to create a more pleasing breast mound. The right breast could be reduced to a volume comparable with the left side. Depending on your goals, you could then consider implants or fat transfer to augment volume. Consult a plastic surgeon who specialises in aesthetic breast surgery.

Answer: Breast asymmetry Hi, thank you for sharing your question. It is difficult to correctly say from one photo whether you have breast asymmetry due to underdevelopment or tuberous breast deformity. I would recommend you consult with a plastic surgeon in person. To correct a tuberous breast deformity you will need a few simultaneous techniques, which may also involve the use of an implant. I hope this helps.

Answer: Fixing asymmetry Tuberous breasts are characterized by an indistinct breast fold and constriction of tissue around the nipples. You don’t appear to display these traits. If you’d like to make your breasts rounder and perkier, a breast lift would most likely be sufficient. Excess tissue can be removed from your larger breast to make it more symmetrical in size with your smaller one. Alternatively, you can also consider getting an implant in the smaller breast to better match the size of the larger one. Both a breast reduction or breast augmentation can be performed at the same time as your breast lift.

Answer: Do I have tuberous breast Thanks for your inquiry and excellent picture. You have some features of tuberous breast but mostly breast asymmetry and droop. You can consider a combination of lift and implant procedures to create shape and symmetry--best of luck.

Answer: No 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. 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, if interested. 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.
