20 Years Old, Puffy Nipples: Are my breasts tubular? (photo)

Question

Hi there! I'm a 20 year old female. When my nipples aren't erect (as pictured), they seem puffy. Do you think they are tuberous? Is it likely that they will still grow? Many thanks.

Judging by your photos alone, your breasts do not appear tubular. They are just youthful. By 20 years old, your breasts probably won't grow anymore unless you gain a lot of weight or become pregnant.

Based on the photo it doesn' look like they are tuberous an in person consultation with plastic surgeon is recommended.The tubular breast
deformity is surprisingly common and consists of a large nipple and areola
complex herniating outside a small and constricted breast.  This deformity
is often corrected with breast augmentation and various forms of periareolar
surgical techniques

Your breasts look relatively normal for a 20 year old women. If you want bigger breasts then you will need to have augmentation with implants.

Thank you for the one photo and from what I can see you do not have tubular breasts though a full examination is really needed.

Young women often have what they refer to as puffy nipples, and that is one part of several anatomic features that make a tuberous breast. You have perfectly normal breasts for your age.

From your photographs you've do not have tubular breasts.  You should benefit from breast augmentation if that's what you want to have.
