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: If I get an augmentation will it improve their shape? 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.

Answer: NOT Tuberous Breasts 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.

Answer: Tuberous breasts 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.

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).
