So as you can see by my pictures I have tuberous breasts and I've been told its sever. I have seen some local Toronto Dr's say it's starting cost is roughly between $10,000 - $15,000? Is this typically the cost and is it stupid for me to look outside the country for quotes? (Argentina for example) I'm only asking because I've been wanting to correct this for 8 years already but can't ever come up with the money it's just so expensive for something that I don't have control over to get corrected.

Answer: Not tuberous Although your breasts do have a bit of a tuberous shape, they are not truly tuberous. The signs of a true tuberous breast include the constriction of tissue around the areola and a high or indefinable breast fold. Your breasts do not appear to have these qualities. They are affected more by ptosis (sagging), and this can be corrected with a breast lift. Implants can be placed as well to achieve a larger and rounder shape.While surgeons may charge less in other countries, it’s safer to choose a surgeon near you. There are several reasons for this, including, most importantly, being close to your surgeon in the rare event a complication occurs that requires attention. Your operating surgeon knows what they did for your surgery, which would make them the most informed to address complications. If cost is an issue, considering exploring financing options.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. It appears that you have breast ptosis. Based on your photographs, the best shape and contour could be achieved with an implant and a breast lift. Your nipple sits below the inframammary fold and without a lift in addition to the implant, this will not have a natural shape. A breast lift with an implant can result in a very nice shape if good technique is used. The size, profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
