Is it true tubular breasts will look better with breast implants placed over the muscle?
Answer: Implants above or below the muscle Thanks for your inquiry, the answer is that there is no one answer. I have had excellent results with tubular breast both above and below the muscle, best of luck.

Answer: Implants and tuberous breast The goal is to alter and improve the shape of the breast. I believe the implant has more influence on the shape of the breast when it is over the muscle. Tuberous breast can be mild or severe. In more severe cases I typically combine breast augmentation with a periareolar mastopexy.

Answer: Tuberous breasts Thank you for your question. Different sized implants can be used to achieve asymmetry. I would advise you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed examination to discuss all possible treatment options and what your expectations are.

Answer: Tuberous breasts and "overs" Tuberous breast is not, technically speaking, a "yes" or "no" question. There can be different points on the continuum. The typical hallmarks include a high, tight fold with "puffy" or distended areola, minimal breast tissue and potentially herniation of the breast tissue through a tightened ring thus the "tuberous" label. It is a congenital deformity which usually manifests at puberty. To what degree it manifests will vary from one patient to the next. Treatment of tuberous breasts varies depending on the degree of the breast architectural distortion. Surgical correction typically involves: -areolar reduction -submuscular augmentation -release of constricted breast tissue All of these techniques work in concert to correct the tuberous deformation of the breast. With regards to your specific question, some in the past have advocated for subglandular augmentation ("overs") in the setting of a tuberous breast in the hopes of better expanding the lower pole. However, the rise of dual plan augmentation has supplanted this approach. It is the best of both worlds allowing for expansion of the constricted lower pole with none of the drawbacks of an "over" approach. As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

Answer: Either over or under Thank you for your question. Generally it is more common to use implants above the muscle for tuberous breasts in order to expand the lower pole easier, however it is not uncommon to place the implant in a dual plan position under the muscle I recommend a periarelor approach as well best of luck
