Why are my breasts separated, nipples puffy, and very pointy? (photos)

Thank you for your question and I'm sorry to hear that this has been bothering you. There's a wide range of normal when it comes to woman's breasts. There are differences in breast shape, nipple size/shape, and the position of your breasts on your chest. Your opinion is the only one that matters, but I would say that you have a very nice size and shape of your breasts and I wouldn't recommend any surgery to change that. If you do end up deciding to have surgery, make sure you see a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Breasts come in all shapes/sizes and yours are not unusual. It is important to keep in mind that there is no "normal" looking breast. You may prefer the appearance of breasts that are more "together, smoother, and nipples that are less puffy" than yours are but after seeing thousands of breasts in my career I can safely say yours aren't weird!

I have a lot of patients with tuberous breasts. What that is- a slightly odd shaped breast with puffy nipples and pointy breasts. There are connective tissues inside the breast that prevents broad distribution of the tissue, so all the tissue tends to focus under the areola which gives it a puffy look.

The treatment to release the tissue and let it span out to the entirety of the breast is with a circumareolar mastopexy and most of the time my patients undergo subfascial breast augmentation. The implant volumizes the breasts and the mastopexy tightens the areola to make it less loose and less wide. I hope this helps!

Thank you for sharing your question since many woman have similar concerns. Your breast appear normal. Many women choose to pursue breast enhancement to improve their breast appearance. Have a breast enhancing procedure is not only for correcting a deformity. If your breast bother you, I would get a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns.
Best wishes,

Thanks for your question...There is a wide range of what is considered 'normal'. I understand it can be hard when comparing breasts to your friends. If it still bothers you, I suggest speaking to a board certified PS for a consultation.You can learn more on our social media (Instagram and Snapchat): @realdrsix.

Having viewed your photos, I hope that you will allow me to reassure you that, aside from some slight asymmetry (extremely common amongst all women), you breasts don't show any indications of abnormalities that would set you apart from the majority of most women in a negative way.  I would suggest that if there is something you would like to change regarding the appearance of your breasts, you consider visiting with a plastic surgeon. #Breastimplants are often used to enhance the shape, size, symmetry and overall appearance of the breasts.  A skilled and experienced #plasticsurgeon can help you achieve the look you desire.  

Hello,Thank you for the question and photo. Many young women do not realize that, "normal" is a spectrum for breast shape and size. Your areolas do appear slightly puffy and are spaced wide apart. This is not unusual, but if the appearance bothers you I recommend that you meet with a board certified plastic surgeon in person to talk about your concerns. An areolar setback which is a type of breast lift, can be done to reduce puffiness of the areolas. The drawback is that a surgical incision must be made all the way around the perimeter of the areola. You can certainly leave your breasts as they are and there is nothing at all wrong with them.I recommend that you discuss the pros and cons of this with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in this procedure to determine if it is the right approach for you. 

The overall appearance of your breasts do indeed fall within the normal range of breast development, however, if there are things that you would like accentuated or changed please make a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Hi, and thank you for your question. It seems your breasts are more on the lateral side (lying more towards the arms, rather than medial or central body) This is more common than one may think. Usually a routine Breast Augmentation can help make the appearance of lateral breasts more symmetric and help any give more upper pole firmness and fullness, making that "pointy look" less apparent. The "puffy nipples" can also be secondary to having tuberous breast, meaning the breast is tube like and more constricted than someone without tuberous breasts. There are different options in correcting this that can be assessed upon exam.  

It is important to keep in mind that all of us are unique, whether we are considering our nose, toes, or breasts.  Your breasts are certainly well within the range of "normal."  I would encourage you to not consider any surgical procedures since I am not sure if you would realize any "improvement."Best of luck.
