Hello, I have had a couple consults to fix my tuberous breasts. I am very aware my deformity requires implants and I am ready to do so. One doctor said I needed implants, pocket revision and a peri-areolar lift and another doctor said he thinks implants plus the pocket revision is all I need because of how mild my tuberous breasts,my nipples not being lopsided or overly large/puffy. What would most suggest? I want to ensure my nipples won't look crazy after.
Answer: Choosing Between Implant Techniques for Tuberous Breast Correction In addressing tuberous breast correction, understanding that the best treatments hinge on the patient's aesthetic goals is key. When considering implants, it's important to note that the nipple-areolar complex (NAC) may enlarge and stretch due to the implant stretching the soft tissue above it. Consequently, without a lift, a larger implant might be required to adequately correct the tuberous deformity and achieve a more natural breast shape.

Answer: Suggest I would recommend a bilateral breast augmentation below the muscle and an areolar reduction. I would recommend always consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon with 3D capability to show you the potential outcome.

Answer: Implants retro-pectoral The size of your areolas are slightly large compared to the size of your breasts. You can do a circumareola incision to decrease the size and projection of your areolas. It may be possible to use an inframammary incision and place submuscular implants.

Answer: Tuberous Breast Your breasts are significantly constricted as evidenced by both severe glandular herniation into the nipple-areolar complex and a very short nipple to fold distance. You can't have a 'pocket revision' without already having had implants, so I don't know what they mean by that (unless they are already talking about a common complication with tuberous breasts, implant drop out). The 'gold standard' of periareolar incision, scoring breast tissue, and a circumareolar reduction leads to a greater than 50% complication and revision rate. Although you could go straight to an implant, the size of which is crucial to minimize a lot of post operative complications, I highly recommend at least one round of fat grafting to increase the base diameter of your breasts, making them more amenable to a breast implant. If you choose implants as a first surgery, it should look like this: appropriate sized devices placed through a properly placed inframammary incision and into a subpectoral pocket. No areolar reduction in a first surgery or breast scoring ever. Once skin tension has relaxed upto a few years, areolar reduction can be performed with less risk of re-expansion and thickened scar formation.
