Tuberous Breast - What Profile is Best?

Usually patients with a tuberous breast condition require a moderate plus or high profile implant and a modified lift of some type.

However far far more important thatn what type of implant to place is which surgeon to choose.

A 560 cc implant would be massive given the usual tuberous breast, but we cannot judge much without seeing a photograph.

I use the same criteria for selecting breast implant profiles for tuberous breast as an breast. I want to match the breast implant's base diameter to the chest, and use the profile to adjust the volume. Since tuberous breasts tend to be smaller, and have smaller base diameter, I am more often using high profile implants in order to achieve my patients' goals.

The higher profile can also help "round out" the breasts' shape, but this is a generality. It is common for marked asymmetry to occur with tuberous breast, so sometimes each breast needs it's own size and shape.

The combination of implants greater than 350 cc's and never wearing a bra is a precarious one. Gravity is a weak force, but persistent.
