Am I tuberous???

Hi there, Can you please let me know if my breasts appear tuberous? They have always been pointy in shape, and I have always had very large nipples. Also the right is fairly bigger thank the left.Not sure if I just have unfortunate shaped breasts or if they are in fact tuberious. Thank you for your help! Rose

    Hi Rose86.
    Thank you for posting your question and photos.
    I do not think you have the clinical features of tuberous breast deformity (constricted breast base, high infra-mammary fold, enlarged "herniated" nipple-areolar complex). You may have a small degree of breast asymmetry, but certainly no ptosis.
    You are a good candidate for a straight forward breast augmentation if that is what you are considering.
    I hope this is of help.
    Warm regards,
    Dr Ray Goh
