Hello ladies, thank you for joining me on my...
WORTH IT$7,500
Hello ladies, thank you for joining me on my journey to boobs! I have found the reviews on RealSelf so helpful and informative that thought I would do my own as I now have my surgery booked eek!
From the age of 13 I have always known that something was different about my breasts, I always thought that as I got older they will grow to look more 'normal'. Now at the age of 23 i still hate my breasts and am extremely self conscious. It was only in the last couple of years I found out that I have tuberous breasts from doing hours and hour of online research ( also now with surgeons confirming this ) . I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for over 4 years and I still can't bare the thought of him seeing me topless, let alone touching them. He is extremely supportive and loves me for who I am, but I just want to feel confident in my own body and not feel so restricted and self conscious. Now that I have the funds and that i know my tuberous breasts arnt going to turn into magical perky full boobs overnight, it's time to do something about it!
I am 5ft7 and 155lbs roughly. I am quite a curvy girl so would love my breasts to have more volume and obviously the shape reconstructed to get rid of the tuberous features.
Would love to hear from any girls out there who have had their tuberous boobs fixed or who are planning on getting them done!
I shall upload my consultation and sizer pics in my next post :) xx

I too had tubular breast deformity and got implants to improve my breast shape. It was the best thing I have ever done for myself. My husband was fine with my breasts but I was so self conscious and terrified of changing my clothes in a locker room for fear of someone seeing my strang looking breasts. There is more involved than just putting a implant in. Make sure your surgeon is experienced in correcting tubular breast syndrome or you will end up with strange looking breasts, just larger ones. If you have any questions, I will be more than happy to answer them. I am sure you will be thrilled with your results!!

Awh that's so encouraging to hear that you had a good experience and are happy with your results ! Know exactly how you feel about changing clothes, always try to hide awkwardly. Shouldn't have to be that way! I believe I have chosen an experienced surgeon who has treated tuberous breasts before, so I have every confidence in him. Do you have before and after pictures of your procedure ? Thank you for your comment :) x

I did not do a review of my breasts because I used full face pictures of a facial procedure I had done and would want animity for that type of pic. I had less breast volume than you do in the upper pole. I am 5'9, 138 lbs and I have Mentor 300 moderate plus profile, under the muscle. I also had my aereolas slightly reduced in size and a mini lift which just involves moving my aereola up to a higher position, so I have the circular scar around aereola. I think it's called a donut lift. I am happy with how everything turned out. I am glad to hear you doc is experenced with our breast type and that you are confident with him!!

Consultation, sizers, and decision made!
So I've been to three consultations all in all. Two with the surgeon I have chosen and a different one. My first consultation I was put at ease and felt very comfortable with him, he explained I had mild form of tuberous breast deformity (although he stressed to me try not to think of it as a deformity as it's so common and many people actually prefer the look of tuberous breasts... really?!). He spent a lot of time with me explaining everything .He told me that he would need to lower my crease folds by releasing the constricted band of tissue. He mentioned I could get away with possibly just an implant in my smaller breast but my larger one would need an uplift. He preferred to do an uplift on both with an anchor scar. This really disappointed as the thought of having so much scaring at my age made me sad :/. Although he said this would achieve best shape and results, so I trusted him.
A couple of months later I went to a different surgeon just to get a second opinion.. first mistake I made was telling that surgeon that I had seen another surgeon previously, told him his name and they knew each other . He asked me what my first surgeon suggested (again mistake two..), I told him , and he just agreed and didn't give me any of his actual opinions apart from sizing ... he said I couldn't go above a 240cc. This disheartened me as i really wanted some more volume! The second surgeon seemed very vacant, swanning in and out seeing other patients. I felt like he didn't want to treat me.. and was telling me to go back to my first surgeon..however this surgeon is well known and has great reviews so this confused me (Adrian Richards).
Feeling disappointed I booked my second consultation with the first surgeon I saw. As soon as I met with him again I just knew he was the right surgeon for me. He examined me again and said that he will do a periareola uplift to avoid the ugly vertical scar. This took me by surprise but made me so happy that he thought I could achieve good results with this procedure. He recommended over the muscle to achieve best results. He's always been very honest with me saying that I won't have 'perfect breasts' but there will be a great improvement. I'm happy with that!
Trying on the sizers was a lot of fun! And my second surgeon said I can go between 300-380cc ( smaller if I wanted but didn't recommend) I was really wanting to go between 300-350 so this was great news. Funny he said that he wouldn't go below 300cc as I wouldn't notice much difference .. where as the other surgeon said he wouldn't go above 240cc?! Just proves that all surgeons have different opinions.
I have chosen to get 360cc in my smaller breast and 330cc in my larger. I don't want to be too big.. but I hear the boob greed and envy on here so I think I've made the right choice! It's all becoming very real now !!!
Anyone on here who has periareola lift with implants ? Over the muscle too?

Hello!!! I had mild tuberous breasts before (I didn't actually realize this until joining this site) and I had the periareolar lift with implants and I love my results :) however I am partial under the muscle, not over. But I hope that helps :D you can check my profile. I happened to find another "before" photo and hopefully that helps :)

Heya :) ! Your profile is great, loving all the pictures , you're results are awesome !! I hope mine turn out like yours, although I'm just praying over the muscle will look ok. I've visited multiple surgeons who all say over the muscle for my particular breasts will achieve the best result for me. 16 days!!! Can't wait/shitting it slightly haha
November 4, 2016
Aww. Thanks :D
I think that I've noticed the U.K favors over the muscle rather than under and I've seen lots of great results either way :) So I'm sure if all of them said the same thing, it must be so!!! :)
So excited for you! Welcome to the dark side ;)
November 6, 2016
Oh really? Most of the people I know all go under the muscle here , it's just with my tuberous breasts apparently the surgeon said would be best. I can only put my trust in him now ! Eek thank you :) ! X

Where did you find that black bra for post op? Your boobs looks fantastic. Im going in for Tuberous Breast correction this summer!!
January 26, 2017
Hey! It was recommended by my surgeon to get. It's the post surgery MIMA bra! The band comes up quite small so maybe get one above your normal size? Not the prettiest of bra's but it does the job :). Ah how exciting !! Have you decided on your surgeon / what your getting etc :D ? X and thank you so much , I hope your pleased with your results !
January 26, 2017

Over or under?
My surgeon has advised I go over the muscle for my surgery, he said it will achieve the best results. In my head before going to any consultations I have always thought I want to go under the muscle, I really don't want a fake look. However my surgeon said there is more chance of getting a 'double bubble' (with my tuberous breasts my crease/fold needs to be lowered). The other surgeon I went to also recommended over the muscle to correct my tuberous shape and volume. Just wanted to hear any of your opinions on this and whether you have had over or under the muscle with tuberous breasts perhaps? - I am have a periareola uplift also! Xx
