Tuberous breasts (also called constricted or hypoplastic breasts) are a congenital breast shape difference that usually becomes more noticeable during puberty. Features can include a narrow breast base, a higher breast fold, enlarged ar**la and asymmetry between the breasts.
Tuberous breast correction surgery is highly individual. It may involve releasing constricted tissue and, in some cases, using implants and/or a breast lift to address shape and proportion. The approach used will depend on your anatomy, goals, skin quality and breast tissue.
These clinical photographs show one of Dr Norris’ patients and are provided for general information only. Outcomes, recovery and suitability are different for every person. A consultation with Dr Norris is required to discuss whether tuberous breast surgery may be appropriate for you, as well as the potential risks and alternatives.
