Tuberous Breast Correction

Tuberous Breast Correction

Tuberous breast correction surgery is a procedure aimed at addressing tuberous breast deformity, a condition characterised by the abnormal development of the breasts during puberty. This condition can manifest in a variety of ways, including elongated or narrow breasts, enlarged or puffy areolas, and a lack of breast tissue in certain areas, leading to a tubular breast shape. Understanding the emotional and physical impact this condition can have, Anca is dedicated to providing effective surgical solutions to transform and normalise the appearance of the breasts. Her approach to tuberous breast correction is highly personalised, employing a combination of techniques tailored to the specific needs of each patient. By focusing on reshaping the breast tissue, resizing the areola, and enhancing breast symmetry and volume, Anca aims to not only improve the physical appearance of the breasts but also boost the self-confidence and quality of life of her patients.

Who Needs Tuberous Breast Correction Surgery

Candidates for tuberous breast correction surgery include patients diagnosed with tuberous breast deformity who experience one or more of the following:

  • Physical Discomfort or Limitations: While tuberous breasts are primarily a cosmetic concern, some women may experience physical discomfort or limitations in clothing options.
  • Psychological Impact: The condition can significantly affect self-esteem, body image, and sexual confidence, making correction surgery a valuable option for emotional and psychological well-being.
  • Desire for Normalised Breast Appearance: Those seeking a more conventional breast shape and appearance, including improved symmetry, volume, and contour, are ideal candidates for this surgery.
  • Mature Physical Development: Candidates should have fully developed breasts, typically achieved by late adolescence, to ensure stable results from the surgical correction.

Tuberous breast correction surgery offers a solution for women affected by this condition, allowing them to achieve a breast appearance that aligns more closely with their aesthetic goals and improves their quality of life.


Benefits of Tuberous Breast Correction Surgery

Tuberous breast correction surgery can significantly enhance both the physical appearance of the breasts and your psychological well-being. Anca emphasises the following benefits to individuals considering the procedure:

  • Improved Breast Shape and Symmetry: The surgery addresses the tubular shape and asymmetry characteristic of tuberous breasts, resulting in a more rounded and symmetrical breast appearance.
  • Increased Confidence and Self-Esteem: Correcting the deformity can dramatically boost self-confidence, making patients feel more comfortable in their skin and improving their overall quality of life.
  • Expanded Clothing Options: Many women with tuberous breasts find it challenging to wear certain styles of clothing or swimsuits. Post-surgery, patients often experience a broader range of clothing options that fit more comfortably and flatteringly.
  • Correction of Areola Protrusion and Size: The procedure can reduce and normalise enlarged or puffy areolas, contributing to a more conventional breast appearance.
  • Customisable Results: Based on your desires and Anca’s expert recommendations, the surgery can be tailored to achieve your ideal breast size and shape, using implants, fat grafting, or tissue reshaping techniques as necessary.

Types of Tuberous Breast Correction Surgery

Breast Augmentation

Often used in tuberous breast correction, implants can provide volume to underdeveloped breasts and help achieve a more natural, rounded shape. The choice between saline and silicone implants depends on your preference and specific anatomical needs.

Tissue Expansion

In cases where the skin and breast tissue are tight and constricted, tissue expanders may be used to gradually stretch the skin and tissue, making room for an implant at a later stage.

Mastopexy (Breast Lift)

A breast lift may be performed to elevate the position of the breasts and nipples, especially in cases where there is significant sagging or downward pointing of the nipples.

Areolar Reduction

Many individuals with tuberous breasts have enlarged or puffy areolas. A reduction can be performed to create a more proportionate areolar size and improve the overall aesthetic of the breasts.

Fat Grafting

For adding volume and correcting minor asymmetries or shape irregularities, fat grafting involves transferring fat from another area of your body to the breasts, offering a more natural augmentation option.

How Is the Procedure Performed

The surgical process for correcting tuberous breast deformity varies based on the techniques used and the extent of correction needed. However, a general outline of the procedure includes:

  • Consultation and Planning: An initial consultation with Anca is crucial for discussing your goals, examining the degree of tuberous deformity, and devising a personalised surgical plan.
  • Anaesthesia: Tuberous breast correction is performed under general anaesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the surgery.
  • Incisions: Depending on the chosen method(s) of correction, Anca makes precise incisions either around the areola, underneath the breast fold, or both. These incision sites are chosen to minimise visible scarring.
  • Correction Techniques: The specific steps taken during surgery depend on the techniques included in the surgical plan. This may involve dissecting and reshaping the constricted breast tissue, inserting implants, reducing the size of the areola, and/or lifting the breast and nipple to a more natural position.
  • Closure: Incisions are carefully closed with sutures, often in layers, to support the newly shaped breast tissue and minimise scarring.

Tuberous breast correction requires a customised approach to address the wide range of presentations of tuberous breast deformity. Anca employs various surgical techniques to achieve optimal results for her patients, including: Breast Augmentation, Tissue Expansion, Mastopexy (Breast Lift), Areolar Reduction, and Fat Grafting.


Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery from tuberous breast correction surgery involves a period of rest, gradual return to daily activities, and adherence to Anca’s post-operative care instructions:

  • Immediate Postoperative Care: You may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort initially. Anca provides pain management solutions and recommends rest and limited movement to facilitate healing.
  • Support Garments: Wearing a surgical bra or compression garment is often required to support the new breast shape, reduce swelling, and aid in the healing of tissues.
  • Activity Limitations: Strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and vigorous exercise should be avoided for several weeks post-surgery. Anca gives clear guidelines on when it’s safe to resume various types of activities.
  • Follow-Up Visits: Regular appointments with Anca are crucial to monitor the healing process, remove sutures if used, and address any concerns. These visits also allow Anca to assess the aesthetic outcomes and ensure your satisfaction with the results.
  • Long-Term Care: Maintaining a stable weight and following a healthy lifestyle will help preserve the surgery results. Anca may also advise on specific care routines to minimise scarring.
