Do Tubular Breasts Heal Differently After Breast Augmentation?

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.

         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.
