I’m 32 with no children, I hate the way my breast look, I’ve lost a lot of either but the shape of my breast has always been the same, they have just sagged more. Not sure if I have tubular breast or just saggy breast? And can this be fixed with an uplift or fat transfer?

Answer: Tuberous breasts Dear Sam.Beow, tuberous breasts are not simply small or underdeveloped breasts. The appearance of the breast can range from mild to severe, and typical traits include: enlarged, puffy areola, rather wide spacing between the breasts, very little breast tissue, sagging, higher than normal inferior breast fold, and narrow base at the chest wall.The type of surgery best for you will depend on the severity of your condition.My preferred technique for tuberous breast correction involves a multistep procedure where the breast tissue is released in a radial pattern to prevent herniation into the areola and placement of a custom implant size is in the breast to allow appropriate expansion of the breast in the restricted dimensions. This can often be done in a single procedure but sometimes may require two surgeries.That said, it is best that you visit a board-certified plastic surgeon for an in person examination. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: See below Unfortunately the fat transfer will not change the shape of your breast. It will add to the size of it though. You may want to consider indeed a mastopexy and then some form of augmentation if you wish (with fat or implants or both)
