I am 21 years old and have tubular breast and I have wanted to get them corrected since I was about 14. I am wondering if it is possible to get an areola reduction and release the constriction of the breast first and wait to get implants later on?
Answer: Tuberous breasts can be corrected without augmentation. Augmentation isn't necessary to correct the tuberous nature of some breasts. By the way, tuberous, not tubular, is the correct term for the deformity as it describes breasts that are shaped like a tuber. In fact, it can be beneficial to do the procedure without the augmentation because the implant puts stress on the periareolar scar tending to make it not heal as finely.

Answer: Tubular breasts You can reduce areola size and release constriction without getting implants but you would need to be evaluated to determine if this is recommended. For those with tubular breasts the implant is used to help reshape the breast once the constriction is released. In addition, a lift is often needed to improve the overall aesthetic. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation to learn more.

Answer: Tuberous breast correction in stages We perform many corrections of tuberous deformities in our practice. The ideal treatment for you depends greatly on the degree of each deformity: size of the areolas, how tight the breast tissue is, how constricted the base is, if there is an element of herniated glandular tissue, the texture of of your skin and breast tissue. In some cases I perform a circumareolar mastopexy (Benelli) to reduce the areola and the herniation and reshape the breast first; then at a second stage place implants in. Photographs are helpful: but examination by a board certified surgeon with great deal of experience with these cases is the best way to proceed.

Answer: Correction of tubular breasts Correction of tubular breasts can be complex and usually areolar reduction, release of the constricted tissue, and placement of an implant is the indicated treatment. It is best to put the implant in at the initial surgery because the implant helps to improve the shape and I am afraid that placement of the implant at a later date will not give you as good a result. Make sure to find a plastic surgeon who in experienced in this procedure.
