You do not have a tuberous breast.........................Greg Sexton, M.D.Columbia, S.C.

Thank you for your question and I am sorry that your breasts have caused you concern. Tuberous breasts exist along a spectrum of severity and are hallmarked by a few key appearances: an elevated and tight breast crease, which causes the breasts to be narrow. Because the breast tissue in a tuberous breast pushes into the areola, you will see the areola be enlarged and "puffy". In order to truly diagnose tuberous breasts, you would need an in-person examination by a board certified plastic surgeon, but based on your picture you may have a mild case, if at all.
