Tuberous Breast - What Profile is Best?

For any type tubular or constricted breasts I do not recommend high profile implants. The reason is simple physics. a tubular or constricted breast is narrow to begin with. High profile implants have a narrower base than a moderate implant of the same volume. This means that the high profile implant will stretch out a smaller amount of skin to a greater degree. While the principle makes sense. the actual results tend to vary. The small amount of breast skin available will not tolerate so much stretching in one shot, often resulting in severe stretch marks. Specially when high volumes are involved. A gradual augmentation with an adjustable implant might decrease the rink of stretch marks

Ideally to improve a tubular breast, the more skin you can recruit safely, the better, so my advice is to go with moderate gels.

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.

In my opinion, I believe I get a superior result with the high profile silione gel filled implants and the moderate plus saline implants filled to near capacity.

Hi there-

Assuming that the goal is to achieve the most beautiful breast shape possible, whether your breasts are tuberous or not has little to do with the choice of implant- which should be chosen based on other body and chest wall/breast parameters.

The best advice I could give you is to choose a surgeon carefully and communicate your goals to them- then trust them to advise you on the details of the technique that is most likely to achieve those goals for you.

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.
