my breasts never developed during puberty and weight fluctuations have only exacerbated my tuberous breasts. I was wondering if it was possible to have them reshaped without getting implants? I run a lot so with my small frame (5'3", 100 lbs), I really don't think breast implants would look good on me. Plus there's just something strange to me about having a sac of fluid on my chest. Would it be possible to fix my breasts without implants or am I stuck with my weird boobs?
Answer: Tuberous Breasts Can Be Improved Without An Implant
Tuberous breasts have a high fold at the base of the breast, a constricting band near the base of the areola (the pigmented circle around the nipple) and puffy tissue in the areola. It is possible to improve each of these features and get an improved shape without the use of a breast implant. A brest lift that opens the consticting bands can make a good improvement in the tubular shape. Fat transfer to the breast can also be chosen instead of an implant to help with shaping. You can have a very nice outcome and should not choose an implant if you do not want one.

Answer: Tuberous or constricted breast can be improved with mastopexy alone.
A mastopexy can improve the overall appearance of the constricted breast. Even a small breast implant will help in establishing the proper diameter however.

Answer: Tubular breasts and breast augmentation
Your posted photo shows tuberous breasts but the left breast is almost half the size of the right. Therefore even if you lower the folds and redistribute the breast tissue on each side the left will still be smaller. Given your height and weight it is unclear that you could make up the difference with fat grafts. If you want a symmetric result you will probably have to get breast implants.
I hope you realize that this format of posting questions and receiving answers lacks the face to face direct communication required for you to make an informed decision regarding your surgery.
My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship in order to know if this assessment is valid.

Answer: Can a breast lift "fix" tuberous breasts?
Thank you for your question and photo. The short answer is yes, the shape can be improved, the nipple/areolar complex size reduced. You are not stuck with "weird boobs". Since your breasts are small, you will not have close cleavage. I also fat graft tuberous breasts, but this option for you is limited. You can always get a small silicone gel implant, 180-240cc ("a sac of fluid" is a saline implant) at the time of the lift or later. See a board certified plastic surgeon for an in person examination to determine your best option. Good luck.
