Hi, I am 33 years old, 5'6'', and 200lbs. I would like to have my tubular breasts corrected without implants, is that possible in my case? I know they will not be perfect without implants but I would like them to be much more similar then they are now. I also do not mind them staying on the smaller side , again just the shape and uneven sizes are what bother me. Thanks.

It is difficult to assess your breast shape based on your photo. A side view would help. Tuberous breasts are characterized by constriction of tissue around the nipples, an indistinct breast fold and possible nipple/areola puffiness. If you display these traits, then you may have tuberous breasts.
