Tuberous breasts are a congenital difference in breast shape, often involving a narrow breast base, a high breast fold and changes in the ar**la or breast volume. These features can vary between individuals and between each breast.
Surgery for tuberous breasts is tailored to the person and may include releasing tight tissue, reshaping the breast, adjusting the fold or ar**la, and sometimes using implants and/or a lift. Procedures are performed in accredited hospitals, and in some cases Medicare item numbers and private health insurance rebates may apply, depending on clinical criteria and your policy. As with all breast surgery, there are risks such as bleeding, infection, changes in sensation, scarring, implant-related issues and the possibility of further surgery.
