Do I have tubular breasts? (Photo)

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.

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.
