Ever since I hit puberty I have been very self conscious about my boobs and have wanted to get implants. I found some information that simply adding implants will not change the way my boobs look, and I have since decided that what is most important to me now is getting a good shape of breast. Of course, I would still like bigger boobs but not if they are bigger but the shape is the same as they are right now.

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

Answer: Tuberous? 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).
