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.

You do appear to have mildly tuberous breasts with constriction of the lower poles.  The preoperative appearance of your breasts (as with anyone) will have the most important effect on your post-operative outcome.  You are likely, however, to have a fairly good outcome.  I would place the implant over the muscle and avoid higher profile implants.  Your expectations should be appropriate and this may be helped by seeing some pre/post-operative pictures from others with your shape.  Best wishes.
