Thank you for your question and photos. Sorry to learn you are unhappy with your breasts but one can certainly discuss options for enhancement. “Tuberous breasts” are in the spectrum of “normal”, even if not optimally aesthetic. Overall your breasts are “normal” and attractive but a correction of the sub areolar puffiness can be corrected, with it without an augmentation if you felt you wanted a larger and rounder breast. Please consult with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon whose aesthetics appeal to you. Best of luck to you.
Tuberous breast can cause a wide range of breast shapes, sizes and asymmetry. In the photos provided there does appear to be mild features of tuberous breast (slight underdevelopment and lack of volume in the lower portion of the breast, mild puffiness of the areola, short nipple to fold distance, and mild asymmetry. Tuberous breast can be addressed using a wide range of techniques, but should involve a plan that addresses the underlying cause (constricting bands).
Dear miambrose,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.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Your breasts are not tuberous, they are ptotic. The technique I recommend is a lift using The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars...
