Tubular breast surgery

8 replies

Sorry, no idea if this is the right section to put this in.

Has anyone had surgery to correct tubular breasts? My boobs have been horrendous my entire life and I’ve never let anyone see me naked. I’m 35 and I still cry at the thought of anyone accidentally catching a glimpse of me. I don’t know if I could even go for a consultation for surgery without some kids of sedation.

If anyone has had corrective surgery could you let me know who did it and where? Costs? Time until you could get it booked in?

My life is in tatters at the moment and I’m genuinely feeling so low that I think that I might be able to face a consultation if it means I can have boobs that I can at least put in a bra. Or be able to wear a top that shows my collar bone. I’m recently divorced and the thought of having to explain to someone that if we have sex I’ll be keeping my T-shirt on is just horrible.

There is a really helpful group on FB at the moment. It’s called plastic surgery questions answered by an expert UK. I’m needing corrective surgery after a botched breast reduction and found them really helpful. They do need to see pictures but if you want, admin will post them anonymously and you can obviously delete your face. It will probably give you a starting point.

@BuggeredItUpAgain I'm assuming you're in the UK, but what area are you from?

Hi, I'm sorry you feel so low. Noone should have to deal with this kind if thing alone - it sounds like it is having a massively detrimental impact on your happiness and mental health. Please do see your doctor or a counsellor for a chat about all of this.

Regarding your condition, I'm afraid i have no knowledge of or experience of this, but i remember maybe last year or two years ago hearing about this condition for the first time on a mumsnet thread. So have a wee search and see if you can find the thread as there was lots of chat from people who may be able to help you.

Take care and please be kind to yourself ❤️

@BuggeredItUpAgain the only reason I ask where you are is whether you're willing to travel down South if you're way up north somewhere.

My friend had a regular boob job from this Dr but I know he specialises in tuberous breast correction

Have a look here. He's got several case studies on his page www.instagram.com/p/CFAPXwDDjAn/?igshid=kbmdojrpydr0

Thanks curlytops. That was actually my thread from a couple of years ago and I still haven’t been able to find anyone ☹️. I went to a couple of places for areola reduction but as soon as I took my top off I was told I wasn’t suitable due to the shape. It’s mortifying.

Thanks winegrtsmethrough I’m going to try and contact him. I’m terrified of male surgeons but it looks like he might actually be able to do something which is promising. It can’t get any worse. All the photos I can see only are so much better than my boobs are, it makes me cry just looking at them.

I have this too, and if I had the money I would absolutely have surgery.

I've looked into it and it seems that as its not a typical breast enlargement not all surgeons will do it, but there definitely are surgeons out there! Definitely don't be mortified. Find someone you like and are comfortable with, they are professionals at the end of the day. Try and look past the temporary embarrassment and visualize a happy, positive you post op if it helps!

I genuinely feel for you because I feel exactly the same. Its horrible not being able to wear what you want and feeling insecure and 'different'. Im short and I've got quite a curvy body everywhere else so I feel like I just look ridiculous without any breasts, my sister has it too but she is tall and slender so it fits her body shape a lot better.

Take care op x
