Age 16, Do I Have Tuberous Breasts?

Hi there,

You do have tuberous breasts.  Once you've completed growth, it can be corrected if you'd like it to be.  You're young to realize you have the condition, and need to wait a bit.  I suggest that when you're 18, you could start with a consultation with a plastic surgeon in your city to learn about your options.  All the best.

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.

It appears as though they might be tuberous, but it's hard to say exactly without seeing you in person.

Thanks for photos.  You have a mild form of tuberous breast deformity.  Breast augmentation and internal reshaping of breast tissue will improve your size and shape.

Thanks for the enquiry.

Yes yuo do have tuberous breasts. The tightness of the skin and the pouting of the nipple are features of tuberous breast, and yuo amy choose to have these corrected. An surgical procedure that may involve a breast implant to correct the difference in cup size you already have, and achieve the final cup size yuo desire is an option yuo could discuss with a Plastic Surgeon.

Timing wise I would suggest you consider surgery after you are confident your breast size has stiopped increasing so you know the result yuo get now will be long standing.

All the best and I hope that is of some help

Hello there

Yes I think you do have tuberous breasts although not very severe .

I would agree that around 18 years of age you should see a plastic surgeon for advice .

I suggest you take your mother with you to the consultation as you will need lots of support to go through the procedure

 

All the best

Breast that have a very narrow base a reference by several different names. The aesthetic problem is easy to fix if breast augmentation is desired.

You exhibit signs of Tuberous Breasts.  There also some breast asymmetry.  All your concerns can be addressed with surgery.  Find a Plastic Surgeon in your area and have a consultation.

Yes you have a variant of tuberous breasts with asymmetry and hypoplasia, N/A asymmetry. Best to obtain ONLY IN PERSON consults from boarded PSs in your city. 

These photos demonstrate an early form of tuberous breasts. The crease underneath the breast is high and tight, and the remainder of the breast is being constricted by the tight tissues in the periphery. The breast tissue has nowhere to go but forward, following the path of least resistance resulting in the breast herniating through the areola. An implant alone may accentuate this deformity. Therefore, the breast tissue may need to be released from the inside, allowing the breast to expand. I hope this helps. I would recommend waiting to do any surgical procedure until your breast shape and size have been stable and unchanged for at least 12-24 months. Discuss this with your plastic surgeon.
