Do I have tuberous breasts? What are my options for correction? (Photos)

I am 19years of age, 5'3, about 59kg. I have been observing and noticing my breasts for a quite a while now, and can positively say they have not grown even the slightest bit. They have been like this since i was 15years. I have hypothyroidism (diagnosed at about 16 1/2) and thought maybe that's what is preventing it from growing but after research i realized that i have tuberous breasts. Also i had undergone a gallbladder surgery when i was 15 years. So, do i really have them or are they underdeveloped? And what are my options for corrections?

You do not have tuberous breasts. You have asymmetrical breasts with poor cleavage. If you are happy with your size then this can be corrected by an eccentric periareola mastopexy to reposition the nipple-areola complex more medial and higher. This will also reduce the size of the areolas...

Your breasts are very asymmetrical in volume, shape and position and are also pointing outward. You will need a circumareola approach to re-position the nipple-areola complex higher and more medial. You will probably need implants as well to increase the volume. Best Wishes, Gary...

Thank you for your question. Based on the photos provided, you don't have tuberous breast deformity. You have some mild pseudoptosis (where the breast tissue sits below the breast crease) which is a very common occurrence due to gravity. The change in shape you see when your nipple is erect vs...

Your breasts don’t appear to be constricted around the nipples and you have a defined breast fold. For these reasons, your breasts aren’t tuberous. If you are unhappy with their appearance, it would be helpful to let your surgeon know in what way you’d like your breasts to improve. For examp...
