Hi, I am over 18 years old and I’ve always hated the way my breasts looked. They’re conical and the nipples are quite large so I did some research and I’m not sure if I have tuberous breasts? They only really look conical when the nipples are puffy, but when I’m cold they look somewhat normal. So I’m just wondering if I really do have tuberous breasts.
Answer: Not tuberous Your breasts are not tuberous but saggy and widely separated. The technique I recommend is a mini lift. Using a circumareola incision, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Tuberous breasts Hi, thank you for sharing your question. This does not appear to be tuberous breast deformity based on your photos. An in person evaluation with a board certified plastic surgeon can help provide some options to improve the appearance.

Answer: Donut Mastopexy / Augmentation Good morning, You don't really have tuberous breasts- just a little sagging and a wide gap. You are an excellent candidate for a submuscular augmentation with saline or silicone implants, depending on your preference. We would determine the exact size and profile when I measure your chest, we review photos together, and you have an opportunity to try on the implant sizers here in the office! I would also consider a donut mastopexy because your nipples are a little low on your breasts, and they do not sit at quite the same level. A donut mastopexy would improve your symmetry and give you a better result!

Answer: Do I have tuberous breasts Your photos do indicate that you have some characteristics of tuberous breasts. You will find significant improvement from a breast lift and implants. This will help to reshape and lift the breasts. The nipple/areola size will be addressed as part of this procedure. The best place to begin is a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you.

Answer: Tuberous breasts Dear Sociable663650, tuberous breasts are not simply small or underdeveloped breasts. The appearance of the breast can range from mild to severe, and typical traits include: enlarged, puffy areola, rather wide spacing between the breasts, very little breast tissue, sagging, higher than normal inferior breast fold, and narrow base at the chest wall.The type of surgery best for you will depend on the severity of your condition.My preferred technique for tuberous breast correction involves a multistep procedure where the breast tissue is released in a radial pattern to prevent herniation into the areola and placement of a custom implant size is in the breast to allow appropriate expansion of the breast in the restricted dimensions. This can often be done in a single procedure but sometimes may require two surgeries.That said, it is best that you visit a board-certified plastic surgeon for an in person examination. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
