Do I Need to See a Specialist for my Tuberous Breast Augmentation?

Complex breast issues are within the scope of board certified plastic surgeons from a training perspective.  You should look at photos from each plastic surgeon you consult with and be prepared for secondary surgeries/touch ups which are not unusual with asymmetrical breasts.  If possible, speak with their patients about the overall experience with the surgeon and then choose the one you are most comfortable with. Good luck!

While I know of no plastic surgeons that specialize only in correction of tuberous breasts, I do recommend that you seek a plastic surgeon experienced in treating patients with tuberous breast deformity.  These are the qualities you should seek in your plastic surgeon:

1.  Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery

2.  Experienced in breast surgery and breast reconstruction

3.  Has before and after photos of previous breast augmentation and tuberous breast deformity patients that you like and are comfortable with the results

Good luck and don't hesitate to get a second opinion if you are having doubts...

Yes, you need a specialist and should be evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon.  I see you live in Minnesota.  I would suggest going to the plastic surgeon division at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.  They do hundreds of complex breast surgeries and reconstructions each year and they should be more than competent to handle your case.  

 

Good Luck
