Do I have tubular breasts or just wide set? (Photos)

Question

Considering a fat transfer to breasts but wonder if there will be complications in the case I have something that will prevent me from attaining my goals.

Dear Beautychasing,

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.

Thank you for your question. I have been in practice for over 30 years and breast surgery is a large portion of my practice.  I have not found fat transfer to the breast to be particularly helpful.  Because the breast tissue itself does not have a lot of blood supply and therefore is not a good recipient bed. The fat does not take as well as other areas like the buttock.  You are excellent candidate for breast augmentation with silicone implants in the subpectoral location.  You should be all have a beautiful result.  Best wishes to you.
