Do I have tuberous/tubular breasts? If I get an augmentation will it improve their shape? (Photos)

GracePhysical examination would be optimal, however your photos do not demonstrate any significant signs of constricted or tuberous breasts. You have a very slight asymmetry and breast augmentation with placement of the implants under the muscle would be an excellent option for you. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area to greatly improve chances of the best possible result. Good luck.

Dear graceburnett,
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 sharing your excellent question.  I do not think that you demonstrate tuberous breasts but do think you can achieve a nice improvement with placement of well-sized breast implants.  Hope this helps.

Tuberous breast is not, technically speaking, a "yes" or "no" question. There can be different points on the continuum. The typical hallmarks include a high, tight fold with "puffy" or distended areola, minimal breast tissue and potentially herniation of the breast tissue through a tightened ring thus the "tuberous" label. It is a congenital deformity which usually manifests at puberty. To what degree it manifests will vary from one patient to the next.
Treatment of tuberous breasts varies depending on the degree of the breast architectural distortion. Surgical correction typically involves:
-areolar reduction
-submuscular augmentation
-release of constricted breast tissue
All of these techniques work in concert to correct the tuberous deformation of the breast.
Based upon your photos, you do not appear to have a classically "tuberous breast." You would likely benefit from augmentation alone.
As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

Hello and thank you for your question and sharing your photos. I don't believe you have tuberous breast deformity. You are at a good starting point and I believe you are a good candidate for breast augmentation. I would seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a full evaluation and advice.

From your photos it appears you are a good candidate for breast augmentation.  I think you will have a nice result and improved shape with an implant alone.  Be sure to see a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation to learn more.

Hello dear!!
Thanks you for your question. It is my pleasure to help you with your concerns.
You can be your own best version, and you can definitely achieve amazing results with plastic surgery in order to improve your breasts. For you, I recommend a breast augmentation with implants, for roundness and fullness, no lift needed. To determine the right implant size, an in-person consultation is necessary. 
I suggest you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon for a good evaluation and to talk about your goals.
I hope this is helpful.  Good luck :)

Hello and thank you for your question and photo's.  You appear to have tuberous breasts and would benefit from an augmentation and lift.  Find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area.

Hi and welcome to our forum!
It does not appear that you have tuberous breasts. Tubular
(tuberous) breasts demonstrate large puffy areolae, wide spacing between the
breasts, minimal breast tissue, sagging, higher than normal fold beneath the
breasts, and a narrow breast base. Your breasts are slightly small for your frame, but of completely normal shape.
You would achieve an excellent result with augmentation alone.
I
recommend consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.
Best
wishes...

Thank you for your question. Based on the picture you do not have typical tuberous breasts. Breast augmentation with implants will give good result. Please consult with a board certified PS for evaluation.
