Fat Transfer Suitable for Tubular Breasts?

I disagree with the other experts.

Fat grafting is probably the best way to correct tubular breast deformity. The deficient areas can be expanded with fat grafting very effectively, without any significant scarring, which is not possible with other techniques.

Unlike implants the fat can be placed in the infra-mammary area preferentially. It may take several procedures, but I have done this successfully.

Good luck.

Depending on the severity of tubular breast disorder, different options can be used.  It is hard to say for any individual which is the best without a consult.  The one thing that I really like about fat, is that it can be used to thicken the tissue at the bottom of the breast which is really thin.  I will often use fat at the same time as an implant.  The implant provides most of the volume, but the fat is used to better conceal it, to create softness in the lower breast and to help smooth out the original breast contours.Dr Rodger Shortt,Oakville Plastic Surgeon.

Tubular breasts are more than just small breasts. The proper name is really tuberous (like a tuberous vegetable) but better described as a range of constricted breast.
A constricted breast is a breast whose glandular tissue is dense and compact. This makes the breast appear "tubluar" rather than a dome like structure.
One of the critical portions of the constricted breast surgery is to expand the breast tissue. Many surgeons accomplish this by making several incisions into the breast base to "open it up". We call this technique radial relaxing incisions. In addition, many patients with tuberous breasts present with enlarged or "puffy areolae". This is frequently treated with an incision all the way around the border of the areola.
Augmenting the breast alone without performing the base expanding techniques or areolae reduction procedures may result in worsening of the tuberous breast appearance. Therefore, I would not use fat injection/transfer as an isolated technique for correction of the tuberous breast.
