How can I find a specialist in tuberous breast correction?

An imbalance or assymetry between the size and shape of
each breast is very common in the majority of women. Underdevelopment or incomplete development of the
breast that usually occurs during puberty and affects breast development is
generally the most common reason for these irregularities.  
Many women who have
tuberous breast deformity wish to bring their breasts into a more symmetrical
proportion while also addressing other irregularities caused by the condition. You
need to seek the advice of a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with extensive
experience correcting tuberous breasts. By using differential breast implants
to create an equal volume, and by lowering the bra crease and minimizing
puffiness around the nipple, a skilled surgeon can create a symmetrical,
natural result. Every breast is different and you will need a customized surgical
plan to meet your desired result.

There is "herniation" of breast tissue into the nipple/areolar complex, making the breast appear stretched into a "tube". The correction consists of a mastopexy to tighten the skin envelope, possible placement of a prosthesis submuscular and also possible use of Alloderm graft to support the tissue.
Postop, it is imperative to wear support for an extended period of time, including steristrips on the areolar scars and good support bras!
Concerning, the asymmetry, I probably would do the same procedure on the opposite side to get as much symmetry as possible.

Dr. Peter Lennox. I hope this helps. Good luck!

Hello Vancouver! Tuberous breasts are hard to correct. In my 24 years of experience of an exclusive Breast Surgery practice a periarolar lift with scoring of the gland or medial pedicle reduction with dual plane augmentation is your best solution. Best of luck! JP Riou, MD

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well.. based in your question its difficult evaluate you if the case dont have a picture, my recommendation is get  a consultation in person with a plastic surgeon to discuss all about theme.but you are free to contact me if you have question.

I would look for before-and-afters on the doctor's Instagram.  I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with.   Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS), a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach TrainedDouble Board-Certified, Double Fellowship-Trained Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

Hello and thank you for your question. It is very
important that you thoroughly research your surgeon before committing to tuberous breast
surgery.  Most patients require implant placement with scoring of lower pole constriction bands and possibly areolar reduction. It is a good idea to research your surgeon's educational background, board
certification, online reviews, before & after pictures, and speak with
anyone who you may know who has had surgery with that surgeon.  Make sure you specifically look at
before and after pictures of tuberous breasts of real patients who have had this surgery performed
by your surgeon and not just a computer animation system.  You should be able to view numerous pictures
of actual patients with noses similar to yours performed by your surgeon.  If you cannot find enough real before and
after pictures, then consider continuing your search for a surgeon. During your
consultation, make sure that you don't feel rushed and make sure that you have
adequate time with your surgeon and not just their patient coordinator or nurses.
If the majority of your consultation is spent with someone other than the
surgeon, this is usually not a good sign. The most important aspect is to find
a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with
a qualified board-certified expert surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Dear maplesyrup2018,Tuberous breasts are not simply small or underdeveloped breasts. The appearance of the breast can range from mild to severe, and typical traits include: enlarged, puffy areola, rather wide spacing between the breasts, very little breast tissue, sagging, higher than normal inferior breast fold, and narrow base at the chest wall.The type of surgery best for you will depend on the severity of your condition.My preferred technique for tuberous breast correction involves a multistep procedure where the breast tissue is released in a radial pattern to prevent herniation into the areola and placement of a custom implant size is in the breast to allow appropriate expansion of the breast in the restricted dimensions. This can often be done in a single procedure but sometimes may require two surgeries.That said, it is best that you visit a board-certified plastic surgeon for an in person examination. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD

maplesyrup2018.   I appreciate your concern, and while severe tuberous or constricted breasts are not extremely common, less severe forms of this condition are fairly common and easily corrected with breast augmentation alone and possibly release of constricted tissue of the lower poles of the breasts. Most board-certified plastic surgeons have the expertise to perform this type of surgery and any other surgery Needed to correct tuberous breasts. Check out the website for the American Society of Plastic Surgeons or American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. Good luck.

Thank you for your answerI suggest you consult 1 or 2 Board certified plastic surgeon from your area that specialize in breast and have a complete assessment and discussion about your desire.There is different option for tuberous breast, depending on the degree, the size and the goal of the patientBest Wishes
