I opted for breast augmentation to correct or at least improve my tubular breasts (with very high breast folds). It's been 2 months and I am not seeing the smooth shape I expected at this stage. I still see a line (where the implant is sitting, I guess) and it totally LOOKS like a boob job. I wanted to know if I am being realistic with my healing time. Will this crease improve over time? Is there something I can be doing to help the healing along? Will I ever look smooth? Thanks!
Answer: Tuberous Breast Correction Tubuerous breasts need more than breast implants to improve their contour.It appears that you have tuberous breasts. A common treatment technique involves releasing constricted breast tissue underneath the protruding nipples to give your breasts a fuller, less "snoopy" shape. No breast implants are needed but you may not be happy with their size after surgery.You may need another procedure to address the crease. Please wait about 4 months after surgery to determine this.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Tubular breasts: do they heal differently? Treatment: Because there is a wide range of appearances, from mild to severe, the surgical treatment for #TuberousBreastDeformity or #TBD must address the following elements for a successful result : Breast Base Grade: l,ll, or lll Asymmetry left and right Skin envelope Areola size, shape, herniation, and position Breast volume Ptosis (drooping) Breast fold position and size. The healing will depend upon the severity index

Answer: Tubular Breasts First of all I would say that you are still early in your post-operative period. It does take longer for someone with tubular breasts to achieve their final results than someone that did not have a constricted breast. The breast will continue to stretch over the next couple months and take the shape of the implant. One of the causes of tubular breasts is that the breast has constriction bands on the inside. Typically during surgery those bands need to be released to allow the breast to expand and improve in shape over time. I would tell you that you should wait at least six months before contemplating any further surgery to improve the shape. The good news is that your shape should continue to improve over time and if after six months your still would like to further improve your shape there are things that can be done. I would discuss this with your board certified plastic surgeon that specializes in breast surgery.

Answer: Yes It takes a very long time to correct the tubular breast shape after augmentation. Massage the implant against that tight fold to encourage it to stretch out. This will help achieve that rounded shape, which may take a year.

Answer: Tubular Breast Deformity and Breast Augmentation Tubular breast deformity occurs because of constriction of the skin at the base of the breast. This often results in herniation of the breast tissue through the areola which creates a unique breast shape. The vast majority of constricted breast deformities are relatively mild and treatment may not be necessary. Severe cases of this condition occasionally occur and do require treatment because of the magnitude of the breast deformity. A variety of approaches can be used to correct this problem. Treatment should be individualized, based on the specifics of the anatomic deformity and the aesthetic goals of the patient. Based on your pictures, it would appear that your breast augmentation surgery was not an adequate treatment for your tubular breast deformity. At this point in time, it’s unlikely that conservative management will address the remaining anatomic defect. Correction will require release of the constricted inferior portion of the breast and a breast lift. It’s important that you share your concerns with your plastic surgeon, so a treatment plan can be developed.
