I’ve noticed something different about my breasts. My main issue is my puffy nipples and the constriction at the base. When my nipples are ‘hard’ I have fewer confidence issues as the cone shape goes away a lot (first few images). When my nipples are soft and depending on my cycle, they can look cone-like (see last image). I’ve had 3 BA consultations, all of the doctors wanted to do things I didn’t want and have different opinions on whether I have tuberous breasts or not, so do I?

Answer: Not tuberous I recommend an in person evaluation by a plastic surgeon to be measured and discuss your goals. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what is right for them. Unfortunately, surgeons have created the term tuberous breasts, a fact which causes unnecessary concerns for women. Many women just have different sizes and shapes and in my opinion shouldn't be labeled. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author. RealSelf Distinguished Hall of Fame Inductee.
