Tuberous breast correction without implant

Tuberous breast correction without implant

Hey all, 2 years ago I had a tuberous breast correction without implant and I was on this site religiously. I never posted photos because I'm pretty tattooed and it's really hard to edit them out and have the photos still be helpful. I had 5 consults with 5 surgeons over 2 years and none of it felt right. I was told repeatedly that I NEEDED an implant to "fix" my "deformity". And I saw SO many pictures of tuberous corrections that were not great, and surgeons still tried to convince me that these double bubble, crooked nipple, scarred, revised options were absolutely an improvement to what I had.For the record, I also saw many that were beautiful- all of whom started off with more tissue or less construction. So I was feeling like I was running the risk of forking out 20k, and still being unhappy with the result. 
This kind of caused me to rethink my plan- I started researching tuberous breast corrections without implants- leeeeet me tell you they are not common. It was so friggen hard to find photos of them.
So anyway now I'm back to throw up a photo. Because I think it's important. 
At the time of the surgery I was 28, I paid 5k (total- to put the cost in perspective I would have shelled out 20-25k with an implant) I was awake for surgery and back to work after 4 days. The next day I went for a gentle 5k walk along the river. Man, I BUSSED home from surgery, stopped for a latte, started running again at 12 weeks. I m VERY PLEASED with my outcome. I am stoked I didn't get an implant. 
I stand 5'8", 150lbs, athletic, pre-op I could not fill a 32A. Now I am a full 32B. 
If you have any questions and are looking at tuberous breast correction without implant give me a shout. Happy to chat.

Hey! I myself have tuberous breast and want to opt out of implants. I was hoping for a lift with fat transfer. What did you have done? Did they just "score" the constricted tissue to help with the shape. I am happy to hear you are feeling better about yourself. Much love.

Hi! They did a breast lift around my areola and about a cm down and “rearranged” some tissue!

Wow, thank you so much for this review!! I am starting to research for asymmetry correction. It's obviously not the same as tuberous breasts, but so far my research has been really similar to what you described in your journey, and so far the consultations I have had have all been insistent it must be done with an implant. Your review really makes me hopeful perhaps there is an alternative!

Thank you!

That's amazing. I'm searching for this procedureand finally found it. Just wonder about what kind of lift you got and whether you had fat transfer to your beasts. Thanks

Wow! Your breasts look beautiful, and without implants. Trying to find female surgeon that can do that here, in the U.S. Everybody pushes implants.

Yeah I was very lucky! This was the second surgeon I saw and I am still so happy with my results!!
