Tuberous Breast Correction San Diego

What are Tuberous Breasts?

Tuberous breasts are pointy, lack volume or have disproportionate nipples. The breasts are under-developed and tube-shaped instead of the usual full teardrop shape. But be aware that if your breasts are small or a bit pointy, this isn’t necessarily a sign of tuberous breasts. Tuberous breasts are a genetic condition. The breasts have a smaller base that can cause each breast to look long or unusually shaped, and prominent, enlarged areolas.

This genetic condition can cause a wide and sometimes severe variety of effects on breast shape and symmetry. As the breasts are maturing during puberty, a fibrous band of breast tissue grows at the base. It is this band of tissue that results in the misshapen, tube-like breasts. The visual effect can be a significant cosmetic concern for women. Other issues may also arise, such as clothes not fitting well, confidence issues or the inability to breastfeed. If the fibrous tissue of tuberous breasts causes a lack of milk gland development, women may not be able to produce enough milk for breastfeeding.

Tuberous Breast Correction Procedure

Your first step will be a consultation with Dr. Sadrian. He will examine your breasts, looking at symmetry, breast volume, nipple and areolar position. Dr. Sadrian will hear your concerns and discuss your condition and options. This thorough consultation will include your family and medical history and any questions or topics that are important to you. From there, Dr. Sadrian will create a personalized treatment plan for you to achieve balanced, attractive breasts. This plan will include decisions about whether to get a simultaneous breast lift and/or augmentation during the procedure.

The surgery itself is done under general anesthesia and takes 2-3 hours. The tight tissue at the base of your breasts that is restricting or contorting growth will be surgically released. This alone will help reshape your breasts. If you choose to do a breast lift as a part of the procedure, Dr. Sadrian will reshape your breasts further with a breast lift. If a breast enhancement was also planned, based on your decisions prior to the surgery about this option, Dr. Sadrian will use a silicone or saline implant, or perform a fat transfer.
