I've been told I could have tubular breasts, which I don't know a lot about and would like any other opinions please.. My nipples are or ever pointy and puffy and have been since I can remember. Any advice?
Answer: Tubular breasts Hello and thank you for you question. Your breasts do not appear constricted (tubular). They are attractive and proportionate to your body. Should you wish to change their size, a silicone implant in subglandular position will be the way to go. Best of luck.

Answer: Modest constriction or tubular breast is not need surgical treatment. You have very modest constriction of the breast. They are attractive and there is no reason to change them by an operation unless there's something that is very bothersome to you. A breast augmentation can correct constriction of the breast when the implant is placed in a sub glandular position.

Answer: Puffy nipples Tubular usually implies a form of developmental constriction of the base of the breast. Your photographs only indicate herniation of the breast tissue under the nipple areola complex. Assuming you are happy with your breast size I would consider using the Benelli procedure that limits the scar to around the areola. It will not lift the breast tissue or enlarge your breasts but will reduce the hernia and reshape the breast from conical to a rounder shape. Some surgeons add a biologic mesh to reinforce the repair

Answer: Tubular breast You may have a mildly tubular breast, but many women have a similar shape to their breast. This "tubular breast" is a shape description and is not any danger or problematic finding to you. If the shape bothers you, that is a different matter, and this can be addressed with the insertion of an implant and a surgical release of the tight tissues in the lower part of your breast at the time of surgery. The implant would change the shape of your breast by widening or rounding-out the lower pole of the breast, and filling out the upper pole of the breast to provide more cleavage. This may make the prominence of the nipple worse, and your surgeon might suggest a reduction to the areola at the same time. The first step would be consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon near you.Best regards,-Erik Hoy, M.D.
