Hello, I have an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon, but it isn't for another 8 months. I'm actually 7 months pregnant now but I would like to get a breast augmentation in about a years time. I had a lot of difficulty breastfeeding my first child two years ago. Although I went to two lactation consultants, no one ever told me I might have tuberous breasts, but I think that might be the problem! Would you also recommend looking into getting a lift done when I get the procedure?
Answer: Augmentation Mastopexy for Tuberous Breasts. Tuberous Breasts or #tuberous breast deformity are breasts with an unusual shape. They may be very narrow at the base on the chest, or the whole breast can be very narrow in shape. There are different variations of #TuberousBreasts but is a growth and development problem which may create a great deal of angst for a young woman.Often, those who seek to correct or improve the shape of their tuberous breasts, benefit from the results of a Breast Lift, also known as #AugmentionMastopexy.Those with #TuberousBreasts are ideal candidates for #BreastLifts. Also, women with asymmetric or enlarged nipples or areolae (pigmented areas around nipples) also may be candidates for a breast lift or a modification of a lift. #Asymmetric breast can be adjusted by adding or removing volume. One side can be tightened more or less than another. In addition #BreastImplants commonly complement a Breast Lift (#Mastopexy) . Such is called #AugmentationMastopexy. Without the Breast Lift, the breasts may appear larger and more droopy with solely implants. They will sag more and sooner, due to the sudden and excess weight. It's also possible for a “Snoopy” breast or double bubble to develop as a result. The implant with lift can also re-position the nipples which may have been affected by ptosis or drooping. One of the primary intentions of a Breast Lift (#Mastopexy) is to improve the shape and position of the breast without reducing their size. It is used especially for breasts which sag or droop (#ptosis). Both procedures are commonly done together, in the same surgery to correct the effects sagging and turberous breasts.

Answer: A tubular or constricted breast can sometimes be treated by breast augmentation alone. There are number of options for treatment. Breast augmentation with mastotomy can often times fix the appearance of a constricted breast without a formal mastopexy. This is also one clinical situation where a donut mastopexy might be part of the solution.

Answer: Breast Lift You look to be an ideal candidate for a lift. If you want to also increase volume, then a lift with an implant would be a good solution. When you have your consultation, your surgeon should go over all of these options with you in detail. Best of luck with your pregnancy -- Dr. Nazarian

Answer: Breast shape Thank you for your question.It would be better to do an in person evaluation, to determine exactly what you need. Especially since the photos of your breast are at 7 months pregnant. As you know they will continue to change significantly over the next months. It does appear you do have some laxity to the breast, so your surgeon will more than likely suggest a breast lift and augmentation. Good luck with your pregnancy and future surgery.

Answer: Breast augmentation, lift Hi,It is always best to wait 6 months after you stop breastfeeding to assess what you may need. However, from what I can see in the photos, you will likely benefit from a breast augmentation with a lift. The implant will replace the volume/size you will lose after you stop breastfeeding and the "lift" will raise the position of your nipple and tighten your breast skin. It is a procedure I often perform as part of a "mommy makeover." I recommend seeing a board-certified plastic surgeon before making any decisions. Best of luck.
