Do I have tuberous breasts and how can they be improved? (Photos)

Question

I am 19 years old, 5’1 and about 128 lbs and i have hated my boobs since they started growing in during puberty and i strongly think i have the deformity so im looking to have surgery. i wanted to ask if i have them and an idea of what i would need to make them look fuller on the bottom/ rounder in general and just all around more appealing. i also think my nipples are inverted:(

Based on your description, it is possible that you may have features of tuberous/constricted breasts, although an in-person consultation would be needed to confirm that. Common characteristics can include a narrow breast shape, lack of fullness in the lower portion of the breast, asymmetry, enlarged or puffy areolas, and breasts that appear more constricted or tubular in shape. Inverted nipples can also occur alongside these concerns.
I perform many tuberous breast correction cases and understand how emotional and frustrating these concerns can feel, especially when you’ve been self-conscious about them since puberty. The good news is that there are excellent surgical options available to improve shape, lower pole fullness, symmetry, and overall breast contour. Depending on your anatomy and goals, treatment may include implants, tissue reshaping, lowering the breast fold, fat grafting, areola reduction, or nipple correction.
Many patients are surprised by how natural and balanced their results can look after surgery. A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in tuberous breast correction can help determine the best approach for your specific anatomy.

hello yes you have tuberous breast deformity and also asymmetry but it does not look like you have an inverted nipple and even if you have i do not advice before any breast feeding period. for your breasts, it is better to have mastopexy and also implants because without implants we have to make it similar to smaller one and it is lack of volume i think. best wishes
