If you have tubular breast like I did, you should really search for LOTS of pictures of patients with the same problem; Request pictures of clientes. .One picture is not enough. Research. research. Research

Sometimes surgery doesn't already go as planned, I'm only 6 weeks post and hope I have no complications. It looked like it began to heal quite well in beginning, it's interesting to see how it continued the way it did for you! I hope you get results you request in future
I'm really sorry about your results. I've been there. I had terrible/botched breast aug (lift and implants) in Jan 2018, knew I hated them immediately after surgery, that never changed. Gave my original surgeon an opportunity to fix (I do NOT recommend that) he made it worse! I did not have your problems, but enough of my own.
Anyhow, I researched new Drs for almost 2 years, went to 5 consults. I ended up getting them revised Jan 2020 (so still recovering) by Dr Don Revis in Fort Lauderdale (I see your in FL). He did a really great job! Considering what he had to work with, as of now I'm pretty happy with my results. They'll never be perfect especially after my first surgeons BOTCH job, but I'm waaaayyyy happier now! Yes, it was very expensive unfortunately. He does a lot of revisions, go look at his before and afters. I haven't posted my reviews of either Dr yet, it's on my list during this lickdown however! Good luck, and know you are not alone :-)

*lockdown lol
Thank you for sharing your experience with me!
I’ll check your doctor out, thank you for the suggestion. I hope you have a great and fast recovery !

You're welcome. This site has been so helpful to me. I really need to share my experiences with pics for others. If you email Dr Revis (send pictures!) he responds VERY quickly. He has a very good bedside manner, and the medical staff at the hospital all spoke highly of him. I love that I can always be in contact with HIM, not going through the staff. I saw another post here regarding Dr Pousti. He was on my list and I actually flew out for a consult with him. He and Dr Revis had very similar plan to fix. The others were all over the place (even more confusing). You are 100% right research research research. I sure wish I would have done that for the first one. Make sure you research Dr's that specialize in revisions! Good luck.
I had tubular breast too and my doctor did an amazing job!!
I’m so sorry! Will you be seeking a revision?
Yes, that’s the plan. But now with the virus I’m not sure when is a good time to see doctors.
Also it’s hard to find a doctor that performs mainly this kind of issues. Haven’t find one :/

I know a lot of Drs are doing virtual consults and if your open to travel I would see others with similar concerns as yours who’s has revisions and compare results with their dr. Good luck! I’ll be following your reviews for updates!
Thank you sweetie! :)
please look at my Dr - he can fix you :)

I honestly have no words to describe how unhappy I am.. I am more self conscious than I was before.
currently I am looking to a surgeon to fix me; this procedure is 75% more Expensive than the first one so my recommendation for you, if you have Tuberous breast like I did (still do?) is research, request pictures of multiple patients with the same condition, and if you are hesitant, don’t do it; trust your gut.

To me as a man , that looks very attractive.
I think she's aware of what they look like, this comment was unnecessary and rude, us women are already self catious to our looks and you sir don't help.
I'm confused, what did I say?!
F
He was trying to complament her and help her feel better and you shot kau
I thought it said unattractive. I read it wrong. My apologies
People like him don’t know how uncomfortable it is to be with someone.. I had the same problem but thank goodness Dr. Turkle did an amazing job
It’s because even though they might wanna make us feel good about it..we still in the back of our mind know that it’s not right.
F
Him down if you can find fault in even the most innocent complament perhaps you should get some help.
Did they say how the tubular breast came to be?
Tubular breast it’s just a name for natural shape of a breast. They don’t fully develop
I really do understand how you feel. I went to Dr. Ennis change out my old implants for smaller implants. He clearly did not do anything to reduce my breast pocket. The new smaller implants slide around in the pocket, which is far to big. I have ZERO upper pole fullness. My breast sag EVEN THOUGH I PAID HIM TO DO A LIFT - because the pocket is too big, so the implant just hangs, like a baseball in tube sock.
Worse, he used the old style anchor lift, which I have subsequently learned was a very poor choice for my lift. My breasts were beautifully shaped before he botched them - they were just too large. Now, thanks to Dr. Ennis my poor breasts are flat on the bottom with hideous scars. So sad.
Very, very, very unhappy with Dr. Ennis.
Agh Stephy :/ i feel you. Are you seeking for Another dr or will you go back to him? What did he say about your outcome ?
Hi - I went back at 3, 6, 9 months and even a year. Each time his wife gaslighted my concerns and said my flat bottomed boobs looked "great". He kept telling me they'd round out. It's been three years. They're actually worse. The scar was very poorly done, and I have a big concave area under each breast.
I have no upper pole fullness and my feasts droop.
Yea Donna did that to me too. I wish we could do something !
Can I ask if you went above or below the muscle?
Below the muscle

Double bubble- post op
Has been around 6 months. Around a month ago I noticed I started developing what is called a double bubble. ( saw it before but I thought it was because it wasn’t healed and needed to drop ; wasn’t noticeable either.).
I am not sure if this was a result of my body not reacting the way me and my doctor wanted or because I chose a doctor that told me an axillary incision would get my desired result without the extra and visible scars, or maybe me not using regular bras, I pretty much only use sport bras ( I go home-gym-work- all day on sport bras because I owe a ton)
My doctor used a bigger implant on one side and I feel is noticeable ( please comment if you see the difference, maybe I see it because I know he used a bigger implant).
On the last revision, he said he would have to go under my breast ( scar ! - sadface) to make internal saturations and create a higher bed for the implant.
But I am afraid that this won’t fix my constricted breast, because I still see some trace of my tuberous breast. ( Refer to my old post, you will see. )
I need some enlightenment
Should I seek other doctor ?
Mine will wave his fees and only charge me the anesthesia.
What should I do?
What should I expect ?
Would it get worst ?

During my time as a RS Insider I've read a lot of reviews. All of the reviews I've read that were for tuberous breasts the BA has been done through the areola bc they need to release the constricted breast tissue. In your pictures, you can see in all of them this wasn't done. That is probably one reason why you have double bubble. Before your BA, did you ask to look at all their b&a photos of their patients w/tuberous breasts deformity? Did they have a lot of experience with dealing with this? Usually it takes a very skilled surgeon to know how to properly fix this. If not, most woman always need a revision. I personally don't know how your PS thought he could do your BA through that type of incision. It kinda tells me he/she didn't have experience doing tuberous breasts deformity at all, jmo. I never seen it done this way in all the reviews I've read over the last 2 years on here. Maybe go on a few complimentary consults for other PS inputs to see what they would do. It could give you an idea what to do and maybe discuss that with your PS at your next appt. I hope this helps you out. I can totally tell the side with the double bubble is the side with the larger implant in the video. It least it looks like it to me. You had ask if we could tell. I think once those constricted bands are released your breasts are going to look fabulous! Hang in there, it's going to be ok and get better. Take care. :-)
Here is a great link/answer from a wonderful Dr. Pousti about tuberous breast and how they should be corrected. Watch the video he attached, he is the 3rd answer down. It's a great video with fabulous results. I hope this helps. Good luck!

I think they look fine. I don't see the double bubble and mine looked a little elevated at 6 months like yours. Give em' some more time and do your massages. I can't see the assymetry. I also habe 100 cc larger on one side and though I can see it not one of my friendshas said anything. We tend to be over critical of ourselves and I think you look great. Especially at 6 months. 12 months later and I am still seeing changes.
Thank you ! :)
I like that puffy look, looks very natural
I think you should keep them as they are - I think they look very natural and quite honestly I'd say they are spectacular!
Thank you !
