Do I have tuberous breasts and can they be corrected? (photo)

Question

I just turned 18. After doing so much research, I came to the conclusion that I have them too. The thing is, when my nipples are "hard" my breasts look "normal" and have that rounded shape that they should have. When the nipples aren't "hard" they look tubular. Can I still have tuberous breasts if my breasts look normal when the "nipples"are hard? My breasts greatly impact on my self esteem and I'd like to fix it.

Your breasts are not tuberous.  They are asymmetrical in volume, shape, position, are widely separated and the nipples are pointing outward.  The technique I recommend is a breast lift using 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,

You do have what is called tuberous breasts. When your nipples get hard there is some contracture of the areolas and this makes it look less tuberous. A surgical procedure called "donut mastopexy" may improve what you are concerned about by permanently reducing the size of your areolas.
