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
