Do I have tuberous breast deformity? (photo)

Question

I don't want huge but for sure a big change in shape, I've always been super self conscious and never even knew that this was a possible deformity.I've always considered breast implants to correct the shape . Is there a high risk of the "double bubble" affect if I were to get breast augmentation ? Could I ever get a completely rounded shape? Thank you!!

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.

You do have components of a tuberous breast deformity.  That being said, you need to discuss with your plastic surgeon the variables of shape versus size.  Best of luck.

Yes, you have a mild tuberous breast.  However, you are an excellent candidate for breast augmentation.  You will not look like the picture, but still feminine and beautiful.  Make sure you pick a surgeon who knows how to deal with the subtleties of your deformity.  Good Luck!

your photos do show a moderate tuberous shape.  Surgery with an implant placed via a nipple incision and release of your lower breast with incisions on the inside will help.  A rounded shape is possible though.  Meet with a few ps in your area to see what they recommend

You do have components of a tuberous breast but need to be seen in person to be properly evaluated for corrective surgery with implants.
