What is the difference between tuberous and normal breasts?
The difference between tuberous and normal breasts is in their shape and structure. Normal breasts are rounded with fullness, especially at the bottom, while tuberous breasts have a narrow base, a tubular shape, and less fullness at the bottom. Tuberous breasts may also have enlarged areolas and a high attachment point. These differences are usually due to developmental issues during puberty, which require special surgical techniques to fix.
