Do I Have Tuberous Breasts & How Can I Fix Them?

Hello, thank you for the pictures.  Tubular breasts are seen in a significant percentage of our patients.  Signs of tubular breast include:

A poorly defined inframammary fold or no fold.

Pseudo-herniation of breast tissue into the nipple areolar complex.

A flattening along the lower pole of the breast with minimal rounding appearance. 

I would say looking at your pictures you have some of these signs.  A physical exam in person would also help.  There are several techniques during surgery that can be performed to create a more natural and rounder shape to the breast. 

Best regards,

Dr. Brian Joseph

 

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.

Thank you for the question and photos.  It does not appear you have tuberous breasts.  Breast augmentation can be able to increase the volume of your breasts and give it a fuller look.  Costs very from one location to another and also between clinics.  Best to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon and get information on your options.  Best of luck.

An
in-person exam with a board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to assess
your needs and provide true medical advice.

Tuberous breasts tend to be narrow at the base and are overly projecting for their size, and this phenomenon may occur on one or both sides. In its mildest form, the lower pole of the breast is underdeveloped or may even appear constricted - sometimes referred to as a 'constricted lower pole'. In severe cases the breast is conical in shape and is sometimes described by the patient as looking like a 'torpedo' or a 'Snoopy dog'. Regardless of the degree of tuberosity, it is possible to dramatically improve the appearance of the tuberous breast during augmentation surgery using a number of specialized surgical techniques.

Many patients with severely tuberous breasts have said that they have never removed their bra in an intimate setting. Careful patient assessment, thoughtful planning and attention to detail during the surgical procedure can produce a dramatic and life-changing improvement for most patients with tuberous breasts.

Tuberous breasts require innovative and reconstructive procedures. When you are ready, choose your surgeon carefully. Find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who is experienced in this type of demanding surgery. Good luck when you are ready!
