Can I have a tuberous breast correction without implants? (photos)

Question

I have tuberous breasts and would require reshaping, and also areola reduction and something to stop the areola from bulging like a 'Snoopy nose', and would probably need relocating. My breasts are also not symmetrical, and so one would have to be augmented, as they are small so reduction is not an option. I am also trying to lose weight which I worry might make my breasts smaller and sag more. Can I have tuberous correction w/o implants? What about fat grafts just for the augmenting part of it?

Far more important than the technique is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon. Choose your surgeon rather than the technique and let them explain why one technique may be better than another.  See the below link on some suggestions on finding the most qualified Plastic Surgeon for a Breast Augmentation.  Always insist on a board certified plastic surgeon.

Tuberous
breasts can be corrected without implants. 
I recommend a new technique called The Mini Ultimate Breast LiftTM.  Using only a circumareola incision it is
possible to reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness, elevate
them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.  The areolas are reduced to the appropriate size.  Implants only change the volume of the
breasts, not asymmetries.  The reshaping
and repositioning from a lift is more important in your case.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

You can have correction without implants.  Fat grafting may be appropriate as well.  The lift will be the key feature to improve your shape.Find a plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of these surgeries each 
year, has great reviews, and has great before and after pictures.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Curtis Wong, MD · Answer

could be accomplished with what you mentioned... fat grafting to the deficient side to equalize the volume.  The lift would create near level and smaller areola as well as improve the shape.  You can have great results as long as you are completely happy with the current volume you have of your larger side.

Possible but unlikely. Best to seek ONLY IN PERSON opinions from boarded PSs in your city/state..///
