Understanding Tuberous Breasts

Tuberous breasts are a congenital condition characterized by abnormal breast development. This condition can vary in severity but often involves:

  • Restricted Base of the Breast: Limiting the natural expansion and resulting in a tubular shape.
  • Herniation of Breast Tissue into the Areola: Causing the areolas to appear enlarged or puffy.
  • Asymmetry Between Breasts: Noticeable differences in size and shape between the breasts.
  • Underdeveloped Breasts: The breasts fail to develop normally and fully during puberty.

Corrective Procedures Offered

Breast Augmentation:

  • Purpose: To address the lack of volume and tubular shape.
  • Procedure: Breast implants are used to provide a more rounded appearance and create the desired breast volume.

Tissue Expansion:

  • Purpose: In cases where the skin is tight and limits the expansion of the breast.
  • Procedure: Tissue expanders are used to gradually stretch the skin, making it possible to fit breast implants or perform further reconstructive techniques.

Mastopexy (Breast Lift):

  • Purpose: To correct droopiness that often accompanies tuberous breasts.
  • Procedure: A breast lift raises the breasts to a more natural position and improves their overall shape.

Areola Reduction:

  • Purpose: To achieve a more proportionate areola size and improve the aesthetic appearance of the breasts.
  • Procedure: Reduces the size of enlarged or puffy areolas.
