Tuberous Breast Augmentation

WORTH IT$12,198
I went back for my year post op appointment, everything is fine, I’m considering getting my right nipple mastopexy redone to make it smaller because when I’m really warm it’s still to big for my liking. Other than that really happy. My surgeon said she still expects them to drop a little more over the next six months so we’re waiting that long for redoing the nipple to make sure it doesn’t stretch out again.I don’t wear a bra at home or when I’m sleeping anymore and it’s finally comfortable. The scars are barely noticeable, I still moisturise them after every shower and will continue to do so forever probably haha. My profile has changed as well I can definitely see them continuing to relax and look more natural even at this point:)

I've just had one short meeting with Anh so far. She has been honest about the fact that this is not an easy condition to correct and I may need a revision down the track to further correct my nipples. I chose her because I felt more comfortable with a women surgeon and she had experience with tuberous breasts. I also did not feel comfortable travelling overseas for surgery that was not a straight forward BA

Hello! I have tuberous breasts as well, did your surgeon tell you if they did anything specific to correct them?
Hi:) yes they scored the restricted tissue that caused the tubular appearance so it would relax around the implant and look more natural. They also did a mastopexy on both nipples. Good luck :)
Your results are fantastic! Did you choose over or under the muscle?
Thankyou! I went under the muscle, my surgeon said with tuberous breasts there is a risk for ‘animation deformity’ with under the muscle but that she’s only done over the muscle with two of her patients and now they want to change to under. I did see a picture of one of her patients who had animation deformity which is when you flex your pecs you can see the line of your old boob over the implant so I was a little worried but I didn’t get it at all. I definitely recommend going under especially if you are small and don’t have much natural breast tissue. Good luck!:)
I prefer smaller nipples/areolas as well. The only thing about yours is that I think it would effectively be like a lift. They’re so even now and how light your areolas are makes it much less noticeable. I’m actually doing something you should consider. Areolar lightening. It makes the larger diameter less noticeable and almost disappear if you can get a match to the surrounding skin.

I’m really happy with the size now and how far they have come from the beginnning. I will keep updating over the next few months as the scars fade because they are sill red

I think they look great! I’m so glad to see your story and not feel alone about my condition. I think they came out great and really compliment your body. If you don’t mind me asking.. how tall are you? And did you have the implants placed under or over the muscle?
thanks! I’m finally happy with them it took so long for my brain to adjust...I’m 170cms and they are round 435cc under the muscle
You look beautiful! Your post drew me in because your "before" photo actually looks a lot like my breasts now.

When she did your augmentation did she also do a correction? Or just the implants?

I really want this for myself and your results are so beautiful I just want to make sure it's the right thing for me.
Thankyou very much:) I never thought my boobs would be described as beautiful I’ve always been ashamed of them. i had the constricted tissue scored and a full mastopexy which is the cut around the nipples. for tuberous breasts you definitely need to go with someone who is familiar with them because it is a more advanced procedure than just implants
Thankyou:) yes I have full feeling back but it took a while, surprisingly the feeling to come back last was at the bottom of my boobs. Nipple feeling came back almost straight away:)

Six months

Just thought I’d do a six month update. Pretty happy with the size now, they seem to be sitting a little flatter now they have dropped a bit. Some days I still feel they are too big but it’s not enough to go through another surgery. When I get them redone in ten years Il get 375cc. I only wear un-padded bras because they definitly look too big to me if I wear anything else. I’m still sleeping in a loose post surgery bra otherwise I find after a couple of nights my boobs get sore but I expect that will disappear eventually. I have not worn a bra for an evening and it was fine but I normally always wear something it’s more comfortable. I have no pain anymore and the scars don’t bother me very much. I expect them to lighten up in the next six months and hope they won’t be two much more noticeable. Overall I’m so happy I went with the surgeon I did. I’ve been very lucky with no issues and to be comfortable in front of my bf without a bra on is something Il never take for granted:)

Your results look great!! I hope mine look that good at 6 months (im currently 4 1/2 weeks post-op) i know to you they may look or feel huge but i think they look perfect on your frame :)
Thankyou:)
Thank you so much for posting these! It gives me hope that someday I can have boobs that look that amazing instead of my sad, weird ones I have right now.
No problem jessa that’s why I did my review. I remember feeling so bad like I was the only one that looked weird. The thought that one day I could have surgery was the only thing that kept me going. Good luck:)
You look absolutely perfect I'm so thrilled for you!!!
