How do you find a doctor in a Canada who specializes in Tuberous Breast Correction?

Question

This is eating me. This condition ruins my self-esteem and makes it feel like I could never be intimate with anyone. I am 19. I just want this fixed. I want this fixed desperately. I just want a normal life and to not feel like a martian. It's embarrassing and I really have nobody to turn to talk to about it. I want to stop feeling like a martian living with this weird deformity. I want to be able to wear cute clothing, bras, and swimsuits without worrying about how my breasts will fit or look.

Far more important than the technique is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon. Choose your surgeon rather than the technique and let them explain why one technique may be better than another.  See the below link on some suggestions on finding the most qualified Plastic Surgeon for a BBL Always insist on a board certified plastic surgeon.

The idea of specialisation is appealing- who wouldn't want a surgeon who spends all day operating on Tuberous breast deformity?  In reality, I think you would do well with a surgeon who is experienced in operating on this problem.  If they can show you 5 or 10 examples of successful results from their work, you are probably in good hands.  Several plastic surgeons in Toronto would have this expertise.

This can be a very difficult problem for young women as the breasts are not just small, but are typically misshaped. There are a variety of excellent techniques to correct the tuberous breast. Many can be performed in a single stage depending on the degree of the tuberous breast. Most important for you to know is that there are solutions available, and we would be happy to discuss these with you.

You might want to see Dr. Frank Lister or Dr. Mitchell Brown, both excellent Canadian surgeons.  They speak at conferences and publish extensively on breast surgery.  No surgeon has a practice made up solely of tuberous breasts, the condition is not prevalent enough.

Thank you for the important question; careful selection of plastic surgeon will be the most important decision you make. In my opinion, success of revisionary breast surgery  depends greatly on careful selection of plastic surgeon (experience matters), careful communication of concern/goals, skillful execution of the procedure, and careful attention to postoperative care instructions and activity restrictions.Although I cannot provide you with specific names, I would suggest starting with the your national Society of Plastic Surgery and/or the Aesthetic Society of Plastic Surgery to obtain a list of well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons.Then, I would suggest you visit a few surgeons whose practices concentrate on aesthetic surgery.   ***Ask to see lots of examples of their work and preferably speak/see patients who have had similar procedures done. Basically, patients should look at the overall quantity and "quality" of the outcomes achieved;  in other words, it will be important that patients see lots of examples of outcomes that they would be pleased with.  In doing so patients will be able to get an idea of each  plastic surgeon's experience level and "aesthetic sensibilities".   Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

Thank you for your question. I would start with bilateral breast implants with release of constrictions and which will expand both breasts. Hopefully this will be adequate but be prepared that a second operation may be needed to improve symmetry after 6 months.   It is important to research and find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who is experienced with tubular breasts. This information can be found on line at the Canadian Society of Plastic Surgery.  I wish you the best.  To learn more read below:

Hello and thank you for your excellent question. It sounds as though you are a great candidate for a breast augmentation.  The size, profile, shape, texture, and type of implant (e.g., saline, silicone gel, “gummy bear”) is based on your desired versus existing breast size and shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. Of course, you will need an in-person consultation to evaluate you for this procedure. Preoperative visualization and surgical simulation with the Crisalix system may help with your decision. Any treatment plan should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon.    Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation in person with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!
 
 Best,
