Can the tight ring of a tuberous breast be cut out?

June 3, 2014
Asked By:HopeRenee in Indiana, IN

I have 3 questions 1. Do we all start with this tight ring in our breasts in the womb, but at some point it is supposed do go away and it doesn't for we poor girls with tuberous breasts? 2. If hormones can sometimes be a cause...how so? When, Which & Why? 3. Is it possible to just completely remove the tight ring completely just to stop the herniation rather than do all of the other stuff? Please answer all 3 questions thoroughly. I always feel ignored.
