Unfortunately, surgeons have created the term tuberous breasts, a fact which causes unnecessary concerns for women. Many women just have different sizes and shapes and in my opinion shouldn't be labeled. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author. RealSelf Distinguished Hall of Fame Inductee.

Thanks for your question. They do appear to be slightly tubular, however this is nothing to be "worried" about. Tubular breasts are common and totally normal. If you are unhappy with the appearance, there are options available.Good luck!
Hello, Thank you for your question.Yes, you have tubular-shaped breast.If you are considering breast augmentation, teardrop-shaped implants, placed under the muscle would be a better option for you.
Dear Cute631996,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.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
Good morning!No your breasts are not tuberous, your areolas are just a little large in proportion to your breast volume, with a little herniation of your breast tissue into your areolas (puffy nipples). You are an excellent candidate for a donut mastopexy to tighten your skin and lift your nipple position, and submuscular augmentation, with saline or silicone implants, depending on your preference. We would figure out the exact size and profile when I measure your chest, we review photos together, and you have an opportunity to try on the implant sizers here in the office!
I appreciate your concerns, however it does not appear that you have tuberous breasts. Your left inframammary fold is a bit higher than the right but you did not demonstrate any signs of tuberous breast. Breast augmentation with conservative release and lowering of your left inframammary fold appears to be a reasonable option. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area to confirm my advice. Good luck.
This is an extremely mild form of tubular breasts, and one that can be corrected with a well chosen implant alone with adjustments of the breast pockets. The puffiness of the areolae are difficult to correct without scars (that can be quite obvious). I think the overall improvement with breast...
In your case, the "lift" part of the procedure would be to correct the herniation of breast tissue coming through your areola. It is more to augment your natural tissue to get your nipples to appear more condensed and loosen the constricted tight breast parenchyma. It would be a necessary part...
Hi there, thank you for your question. I suggest you to have round shape breast implants to have upper pole fullness and cleavage. The different size of implants can be chosen to decrease the asymmetry on your breasts but, they cannot be exactly symmetrical. It also seems that you do not need...
