Are my breasts tubular or similar? (Photo)

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You do not have a tuberous breast deformity. If you are unhappy with the size of your areolas, this can be changed with surgery.

Your breasts are not tubular but widely separated, pointing outward and low on the chest wall. I recommend a mini lift. Using a circumareola incision, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. At the same time, fat transfers or small implants can be placed if additional volume is desired.

Best Wishes,

Dear Ilovemusic84,
tuberous breasts are not simply small or underdeveloped breasts. The appearance of the breast can range from mild to severe, and typical traits include: enlarged, puffy areola, rather wide spacing between the breasts, very little breast tissue, sagging, higher than normal inferior breast fold, and narrow base at the chest wall.The type of surgery best for you will depend on the severity of your condition.My preferred technique for tuberous breast correction involves a multistep procedure where the breast tissue is released in a radial pattern to prevent herniation into the areola and placement of a custom implant size is in the breast to allow appropriate expansion of the breast in the restricted dimensions. This can often be done in a single procedure but sometimes may require two surgeries.That said, it is best that you visit a board-certified plastic surgeon for an in person examination. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Although you have puffy nipples with larger areolas, you do not have pointy breasts with a constructed lower pole seen in tubular breast deformity.

Your breasts are not tubular. What you have are slight herniation of the areola, or "puffy" nipples. You have a beautiful shape to your breasts. Now, if you were to get your breasts enlarged, this might look worse, unless this is specifically taken care of.Hope this helps!

Dear Ilovemusic84,
Please get off the internet or social media, or whatever is making you feel insecure about your breasts. They are beautiful. Leave them alone.

You do not have any signs of tuberous breasts, yours are just a bit smaller but youthfully shaped. The pointiness will fade as you get older.
