I’m looking to get breast augmentation in the future (have not yet seen a plastic surgeon) but I am curious to see if you think I would need a lift or lowering of the inframammary fold to achieve big round breasts. No professional has said I have Tuberous breasts but I am quite sure I have them.

Answer: Tuberous breasts…… would I need a lift or lower of the inframammary fold to achieve big round breasts? Hello and thank you for posting. NO LIFT IS NECESSARY! I do not think you have tuberous breasts. You do have a high breast fold and your breasts are far apart….. these are some of the features of tuberous breasts but they are not enough for a diagnosis. Your breasts are not constricted in any area. They are just small. Plus there is no herniation of breast tissue. Constriction of the lower quadrant, plus herniation result in enlarged areolas that seem to puff out. This is not your case. You essentially have small breasts that can be enhances with a breast augmentation. Lowering the breast fold can be done to acomódate for implant size and guarantee correct nipple positioning, but this has to be done carefully to avoids bottoming out in the future. Best of luck, Dr. Miguel Mota

Answer: Asymmetric small breasts It doesn’t look that you have tuberous breasts based on the photos. Breast asymmetry by means of size and breast position (asymmetric inframammary folds) can be corrected with implant augmentation, correction of IMF, possibly fat grafting. In person or teleconference consult with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in breast surgery is recommended. Good luck.
