Tuberous Breast Correction Sydney

For those looking to understand if they do in fact have tuberous breasts, they feature a very specific shape that has a pointed, narrow or puffy appearance. The rounded or teardrop shapes of breasts are developed post-puberty; however, tuberous breasts refrain from achieving this look.

The base of the breasts is often narrow, seeming constricted with nipples that are out of proportion. There is minimal glandular breast tissue creating a drooped appearance to the breasts.

The classification system for tuberous breasts will determine whether breast augmentation, asymmetry correction, or various other surgical adjustments will be required. Tuberous Breast Deformities can be grouped with hypoplasia in one of the following ways:

1. Type I affecting the lower medial quadrant
2. Type II affecting the lower medial and lateral quadrants with a sufficient amount of skin in the subareolar region
3. Type III affecting the lower medial and lateral quadrants with a deficiency of skin in the subareolar region
4. Type IV which features severe breast constriction with minimal breast base

The cause of tuberous breasts and who may be affected by it is somewhat unclear. While we understand the changes that occur which create tuberous breasts, we do not know why it happens. If the fascia or fibrous tissue that develops between the chest skin and Pectoralis Major muscle is excessively tight, the development of the breast base will be restricted. This creates a narrow look in the lower part of the breast.

In some cases, the fascia beneath the areola and nipple is very weak. If the fascia around the margins of the developing breast is strong, the breast tissue will be pushed into a small area behind the nipple giving a puffy appearance.

Different techniques can be used for the correction of tuberous breasts, and most procedures will involve glandular remodelling. Methods may include a breast lift mastopexy to address a nipple that is not at a satisfactory level. If the areola size is too large, this can also be treated as part of the surgery

If the patient’s breast hasn’t fully developed, a breast augmentation with use of a breast implant may be utilised. Additionally, it is common that a tuberous breast is also asymmetrical, sometimes quite drastically, so different techniques may be used on each breast to achieve a symmetrical and harmonious result.

Typically this surgery also involves a release of a constricting ring of tissue to help redistribute breast tissue in a more natural way. This helps to give the breast a more natural look. For many people, tuberous breasts can be a source of embarrassment and cause a lack of confidence when in swim or underwear. This procedure helps to rectify this, giving women a greater sense of self-esteem and love for their body.

BEFORE YOU DECIDE ON A TUBEROUS BREAST CORRECTION SURGERY, THERE ARE SOME CRITICAL ISSUES TO KEEP IN MIND:

• If breast implants are needed, patients need to be aware that they are not guaranteed to last a lifetime and future surgery may be required to replace one or both implants
• Smokers are at increased risk of complications from any surgery. If you are serious about undergoing cosmetic surgery, you should try to quit smoking
• Surgeons generally recommend waiting until breast development has completed before undertaking tuberous breast surgery
• If an aesthetic breast reduction mammoplasty technique will be used to correct tuberous breast, this may occasionally interfere with some diagnostic procedures
• Ability to breastfeed following tuberous breast correction surgery may be affected. Talk to your surgeon if you are planning to breastfeed a baby in the future
• Changes in the breasts during pregnancy, or significant weight loss or gain can alter the outcomes of previous tuberous breast correction surgery
• Breast and nipple piercings can cause an infection
