Can tuberous breasts be prevented with surgery before a child reaches puberty or early on in puberty?

Stills563
I was born with tuberous breasts and they really affected my self esteem leading to depression and eating disorders in my teens. I now have a daughter and My worst fear is that she inherited them from me and will go through what I did. I am wondering if there is a way to tell once she's older if she has the fibrous band constricting her breasts and if there is a way that it could be removed to prevent the deformity from occurring.
