I’m finally at a point where I can have a Tuberous Breast Correction. I have started getting consultations but I’m at a crossroads. OTM or Under? Expanding saline or perm silicone Incision location Can I achieve normal non Tuberous looking breasts with one surgery or not? All the varying opinions and approaches are worrisome to me.

Answer: Breast augmentation tuberous Thank you for your question and posting appropriate pictures. You seem to be a good candidate for a single stage breast augmentation using silicone implants under the muscle as well as areola reduction/lift. These procedures are challenging and need to be done expertly. Is best to have a virtual consultation to discuss options of course.

Answer: Tuberous breasts Dear Patricia57231, tuberous breasts are not simply small or underdeveloped breasts. The appearance of the breast can range from mild to severe, and typical traits include: enlarged, puffy areola, rather wide spacing between the breasts, very little breast tissue, sagging, higher than normal inferior breast fold, and narrow base at the chest wall.The type of surgery best for you will depend on the severity of your condition.My preferred technique for tuberous breast correction involves a multistep procedure where the breast tissue is released in a radial pattern to prevent herniation into the areola and placement of a custom implant size is in the breast to allow appropriate expansion of the breast in the restricted dimensions. This can often be done in a single procedure but sometimes may require two surgeries.That said, it is best that you visit a board-certified plastic surgeon for an in person examination. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
