I am a 33 yo female, 5’4 currently 215lbs. I am looking to loose 35-40 lbs prior to doing any surgical procedures. However trying to see what my options look like. I feel like my breasts stopped growing as soon as they started. I have been the same non existent cup size since I started wearing a bra. I was unable to BF either one of my kids due to extremely low production. I feel like I have more ancillary tissue than actual breast.

Answer: Tuberous breast correction Hello,From what you’ve described, it sounds like you may have a mild tuberous breast deformity (Grade 1–2). This condition often leads to limited breast development, a higher inframammary fold, and a lack of volume, which could explain the issues you’ve mentioned, including difficulties with breastfeeding and the appearance of more axillary tissue than actual breast volume.In such cases, I typically recommend breast augmentation using round, high-profile silicone implants to create more fullness and projection. If necessary, a periareolar lift (donut mastopexy) can also be added to improve shape and nipple position.Additionally, your inframammary fold appears to be positioned higher than ideal, which is common in these cases. Repositioning it approximately 2 cm lower, and performing a small fat transfer to that area, can significantly enhance the natural lower pole of the breast and overall aesthetic outcome. Best regards,Dr. Süleyman Köken

Answer: BA candidate Dear Helpful355246, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from breast implants. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
