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.

Answer: Questions about tuberous breasts 1. No, we don't all have tights rings around the breasts, as far as we know about breast development.2. Hormones are usually NOT the cause of tuberous breasts.3. The "ring" is not a physical anatomic structure that can be simple remove. It's a round area of tight tissue formation. The surgery to "do all of the other stuff" is designed to remove the effect of this tight collagen area, and to leave a breast that is complimentary to the body and looks normal and natural. Skipping steps will always lead to a less than ideal results.

Answer: Tuberous breast As discussed by the other surgeons, a tuberous breast deformity is a congenital disorder of unknown cause. The tight fascial - constricting tissue does not allow the breast to develop normally especially in the lower pole of the breast and since the areola is not similarly affected, the breast tissue expands or herniates through the areola causing it to enlarge as well. The condition is usually bilateral to varying degrees.Surgical correction involves placement of an implant, either subglandular, or dual plane submuscular, and making radial cuts through the tight fascial and breast tissue to allow the implant to 'expand' the breast. This is done through an incision that goes all the way around the areola so that it can be reduced at the same time. Surgical results are usually very good.
