I have, what I believe to be, a mild case of tuberous breast deformity. I am not so much concerned with the size of my breast, but their shape. In terms of corrective surgery, it is possible to fix their conical shape without implants or are implants generally recommended? What type of implant is suggested for tuberous breast correction surgery?

Answer: Tuberous Breast Correction Tuberous breast deformity involves a constricting ring that grows around the breast base. This ring stops the horizontal and/or vertical expansion of the breast, leading to constricted appearance with large areolas and irregular nipples. Surgery is necessary to release constricted tissue, and implants may be placed to enhance volume. The surgery does not have to involve the placement of implants, however you may not like the size of your breasts afterward. If you prefer an implant, then they are typically placed in the sub-mammary position to better influence your breast’s shape and to add greater volume. However, this all depends on what your surgeon recommends based on a physical examination.

Answer: Tuberous breast deformity Thank you for your question! Given your photos, it does appear that you have a mild tuberous breast/constricted breast deformity. The standard procedure would be placement of an implant (or tissue expander, depending on the lower pole of your breast) as well as a circumareolar breast lift. These modalities would correct the issues with tuberous breast: constricted breast at the inferior pole, via breast prosthetic; scoring of the tissue to release the bands; lowering the inframammary fold; correcting the herniation of breast tissue into the areolae; and decreasing the overall size of the areolae. These are the hallmarks of tuberous breasts. You could likely get great results with an implant and possible breast lift. The type of implant will be personal preference - your surgeon will discuss the various types of implants with you.Consult with a plastic surgeon well-versed in breast surgery and discuss your goals and expectations. S/he will then be able to examine and discuss the various options and assist you in deciding which decision os the right one for you, given your desires. I would expect a very pleasing result for you! Hope that this helps! Best wishes for a wonderful result!
