Hi, I just want to verify if I have tuberous breast. If so, do I need to have breast implant and areola reduction? I'm 5'3" ad 128lbs, currently living in Seattle. Wondering if I need to get breast lift as well. Is it possible to use fat transfer to treat my case? Thank you!

Answer: Tuberous breast? Based on your photos, it does appear that you have tuberous breasts. However, the path forward to deliver the results you want depends a lot on other factors, including the breast size you would like to obtain. While fat transfer is an increasingly popular option for augmenting various parts of the body, given your height and weight and the limited photos you have provided, it may not be possible to obtain the results you want through fat transfer. You should keep in mind that fat transfer to the breasts general yields only a small augmentation and often has to be repeated more than once and requires sufficient donor sites. Breast implants are going to give you the most predictable and reliable increase in volume. You do not appear to need a lift at this time but you may require some areolar work/reduction depending on your goals for the outcome. You will need to have a long conversation with your plastic surgeon regarding your goals and reasonable expectations as well as tolerance for future revision surgery. Best of luck!

Answer: Tuberous breast? Thank you for your pictures and questions. In short, yes, you do have several features of tuberous breast deformity. Depending on your goals and expectations, there are several options available to you to treat this, the most common being placement of a silicone implant and revision of the tuberous features. I would not recommend a lift as I do not think this is necessary. And I am not sure what the goal of fat transfer would be in this case as increasing any significant size would require several sessions of grafting and would not correct the deformity.Hope this helps!
