While breasts come in different shapes and sizes, women suffering from a condition known as tuberous breasts tend to have a significant difference in their appearance: The breasts are often constricted at the bottom with the areola being enlarged and having a protruding shape like a cone or a beak. The nipple may also appear droopy.
Although the condition typically presents itself during puberty, some women are unaware of the problem until later in life after pregnancy or weight changes. Surgery is only recommended for those who have finished going through puberty when the breasts have fully developed.
