Tuberous breast deformity is more common than many patients realize, and correcting it takes a thoughtful, specialized approach. This on-table result shows the power of breast augmentation not just to add volume, but to reshape the breast in a beautiful, natural way.
A tuberous breast is typically defined by a constricted breast base width, herniation of the ni**le-areolar complex, and a shortened distance from the ni**le to the breast fold. Correction is nuanced, but with the right technique, it is absolutely attainable. In cases like this, I use a periareolar incision for precise access to the lower pole, lower the breast crease to restore a more natural ni**le-to-fold distance, and score the breast tissue in a radial fashion so the breast can expand and drape more naturally over the implant. The implant is then placed in a subglandular or subfascial pocket to create harmony between the implant and the native breast tissue.
These details matter, and they are what allow us to transform a constricted breast into a softer, rounder, more natural breast shape.
