Help with tubular breasts. Do I need constriction released or can I just have areola reduction and a lift? (Photo)

Hi @Janimalkracker, thank you so much for your question. The decision really depends upon what your expectations are and from there you can choose to include a mammary pexy in the surgical plan to improve the shape of the breast and the nipples. If you are considering plastic surgery, the best course of action would be to consult with one or more board certified plastic surgeons who are able to give you more information and recommendations tailored to meet your needs. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez, MD FACS.

Your breasts are tubular but sagging. The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Dear Janimalkracker,
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.

You do not have tubular breasts, but do sag. A lift with areolar reduction would work well for you. You can add implants for more fullness, or just keep the size you are.

Based upon the nicely posted photos I see no tuberosity of your breasts. You need full lift with areolar reductions. Fees in the $6,000 to $15,000 ranges. Best to virtual consult with...

my personal recommendation is an augmentation with implants and reducing the areola to a harmonious size that goes with the breast augmentation would be a spectacular change for you!

Hello and thanks for your question.
There are different approach for treating tubular breast but based on your pictures, the best treatment plan for your case will be breast uplift&implants. I strongly suggest you to have a consultation with a Board Certified Surgeon before you make a decision.
