Do I have tubular breasts? (Photo)

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!
