What should I do with tubular breasts to return its previous form?

Tuberous breasts have a triad of herniation of the areolar tissue throughout the areola, a tight or constricted breast base, and a smaller breast overall size. (Leland Deane, MD, Long Island Plastic Surgeon)

Tuberous breasts come in different degrees from mild to severe. In-person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon will give you the best information.

See as many before and afters of patients who look like you. (Francisco Canales, MD, Santa Rosa Plastic Surgeon)

You do not look like you have tuberous breasts. I think that a breast augmentation possibly alone might suffice perhaps a small circumareola lift. Best to be seen in person to be evaluated. (Steven Wallach, MD, Manhattan Plastic Surgeon)

Breast augmentation, lift or both

Are my breasts tuberous?

The age old question of breast augmentation with or without a lift is probably asked more frequently than any other on this site. You appear to be on the borderline of one or the other. If you chose a large implant, you might not require the lift. So, it somewhat depends on your goals. Seek consultation with an American Board of Plastic Surgery board certified plastic surgeon. (Kenneth R. Francis, MD, FACS, Manhattan Plastic Surgeon)

Breast lift needed or not

You so not look like you have any tuberous breast which is a constriction of the soft tissues. I think you would do well with a breast augmentation alone. I would probably recommend to you a duel plane procedure that would fill out the bottom of you breast a little better and help center the nipple over the implant. My opinion is I do not feel you need a lift. You should do great. (Scott W. Vann, MD, FACS, Savannah Plastic Surgeon)

Do I need a lift?

Do I need a lift if I have Tuberous breasts?

Based upon photographs I think you would do well with an implant. A silicone implant or a teardrop shaped implant would tend to give the most natural look. I tend to favor smooth silicone because if they rotate it makes no difference.  While it is possible you could need a Benelli lift I think it is unlikely.

In a case such as yours I would probably place the implant, allow it to settle for a few months and then decide upon a lift or tightening in the future only if necessary. A lift can always be added but it cannot be taken away. With regard to pregnancy unfortunately, there are no guarantees. Breasts can stay the same or they can change dramatically, it is the natural tissue that is affected and the implant does not make that much difference.

Are my breasts tuberous?

Breast augmentation, lift or both for breast augmentation

I don’t think you have tuberous breasts. However, you do have a moderate amount of breast ptosis (sagging) and may benefit from a Benelli (donut) lift.

This type of lift will result in less lift than a lollipop or anchor type of breast lift, but should suffice if you are combining the lift with a breast augmentation.

Depending on the amount of upper pole fullness you hoping to achieve, you may want to consider a tear dropped shaped implant. (Vincent D. Lepore, MD, San Jose Plastic Surgeon)

You do not have tuberous breasts, I think your breasts they would look much better with silicone implants and regarding lifting, I think that if is necessary will be enough a Benelli. (Manuel Marte, MD, Dominican Republic Plastic Surgeon)

Signs of tubular breasts image

You do not have tuberous breasts. And you do not need a breast lift. You are a great candidate for a breast augmentation – I would recommend Silicone gel sub-muscular- breast augmentation. This should give you a result that you can be proud of and hopefully be pleasing to you. (Thomas Trevisani, Sr., MD, Orlando Plastic Surgeon)

I do not think that your breasts demonstrate the features typically seen with tuberous/constricted breasts. You should do well with breast augmentation; whether or not breast lifting will be helpful will depend on exactly what your goals are ( best determined during in-person consultation).

Keep in mind that you do have a significant space between your breasts; your “starting anatomy” will limit exactly what can be accomplished with breast augmentation surgery.

I would suggest that you seek consultation with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience helping patients achieve the types of outcome you would be pleased with it.
