Sorry the pictures aren't great...I've always had serious hatred for my breasts. I thought they were just pointy. I decided to google to see if other people had breasts like mine, and came across this site and some similar posts. I'm kind of thinking I do, but it's hard for me to tell. I don't have health insurance yet so I can't talk to my doctor.
Answer: Correction of tubular breasts is easily accomplished at the time of the breast augmentation The picture demonstrates intermediate tubularity of the breast. Silicone gel implant placed in a sub glandular position should yield an excellent result if breast augmentation is desired.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Tuberous Breast Description and Classification Yes you have tuberous breasts. Tuberous breasts are not just small breasts, but are the result of some change in breast development. The definition and characteristic appearance of tuberous breasts generally includes the following features related to the underdevelopment: - A contracted or deficient skin envelope - A constricted breast base (the breast occupies a smaller size on the chest wall) - A reduced volume and amount of breast tissue - Abnormal elevation of the inframammary fold - Wide spacing between the breasts - An enlarged nipple-areolar size compared to the breast size - Pseudoherniation of breast tissue into the nipple-areolar complex (puffy areola) - Although the shape can vary based upon the type, the moderate to severe forms tend to have a more narrowed cylindrical shape; the milder varieties tend to have a bit more of a conical shape The etiology of the tuberous breast deformity is unknown. This condition can affect some women’s ability to breast feed. There are four classifications of the tuberous breast: Type I – underdevelopment (hypoplasia) of the lower medial quadrant Type II – underdevelopment of the lower medial and the lower lateral quadrants, but with sufficient skin in the region below the areola. Type III – underdevelopment of the lower medial and the lower lateral quadrants, but with a deficiency of skin in the region below the areola. (This is similar to Type II but with less skin below the areola, and a tight inframammary fold) Type IV – Severe breast constriction, with a very minimal breast base. I would classify your breast shape as closer to a Type III since you have less skin below the nipple-areolar complex (a tighter lower pole). You have a small amount of breast tissue with at least a mildly constricted base, and subsequently a contracted skin envelope; your breasts lack fullness and roundness in the lower quadrants; your breasts are widely spaced because of their small size; and you have an elevated inframammary fold. The appearance of tuberous breasts can be altered with breast augmentation. Some women require a breast lift, but you should not. The more mild forms are easier to correct than the more severe forms. Consult with a plastic surgeon about your options. Best wishes, Ken Dembny

Answer: Tuberous breasts I think based on your photos that you do have tuberous breasts. Based on what I see in my practice, your chances of having insurance pay for your breast augmentation is slim. Correcting tuberous breasts is usually not covered, at least not in my area. Check with your plastic surgeon and they can tell you what their practice experiences.

Answer: Tubular Breast Based on the photos that you provide you do seem to have tubular breasts. Insurance will not cover any procedure related to the tuberous breasts, so you are best served by seeing a plastic surgeon. Many, including myself, offer complimentary consulations so there is no need to wait. Best wishes.
