Tuberous Breast Repair Explained

What is
Tuberous Breast Repair?

Breast disorientations come in many forms. When their base is constricted or has herniated tissues that make the areola enlarged, the condition is known as tuberous or tubular breasts. It makes your breasts look small and widely apart, often called snoopy or triangular breasts. Tuberous breast repair aims to correct any malformation or disorientation that their breasts came naturally with.

For all these problems, there is one solution — tuberous breast repair. This procedure helps tuberous breasts appear more normal, fuller, and symmetrical. For all such women, Dr. Dan Yamini at NexGen is here to help! We perform safe and effective tuberous breast repair surgery to correct your breast orientation and help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

  • Reduces enlarged areolas on the nipples, which are usually caused due to herniated breast tissues in the base
  • Enhances breast volume
  • Makes the breasts appear proportionate and normal-looking
  • Boosts your confidence by improving the symmetry of your chest

Tuberous Breast Repair
Treatment Options

Breast Augmentation

Since tuberous breast repair includes implant placement, it’s somewhat similar to breast augmentation with implants. The surgeon uses PureGraft to collect fat from the other parts of the patient’s body and then process it to extract contaminated fluids. The purified fat is then transplanted back into the breasts.

The surgeon also uses tissue expanders to stretch the breast tissue and the skin to insert the implant. Without tissue expanders, breast augmentation can be performed in one session. The doctor may also opt for a breast fat grafting technique.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

The surgeon mainly performs the breast lift or mastopexy procedure to help patients achieve the perfect breast contour. In this process, the doctor removes a donut-shaped skin from the patient’s areola to loosen the underlying breast tissues, eventually forming the ideal breast shape.

Schedule a Consultation

Nipple Reduction

Nipple reduction corrects the irregular areola and protruding nipples in both men and women. Some people are born with unsymmetrical or enlarged areolas, while others develop them over time. Men can also have prominent nipples and areola due to hormonal imbalances. Nipple reduction can treat all these conditions.

Procedure Process
and Recovery

1

Assessment

Tuberous breast repair surgery requires a thorough physical assessment from an experienced surgeon. A tuberous breast repair doesn’t only involve placing implants to increase the size of the breasts. Instead, it includes additional specific techniques to treat many congenital issues in tubular breasts.
At NexGen, our board-certified surgeon, Dr. Yamini, sits with every patient individually to evaluate the condition of their breasts to develop the right treatment plan. You will be informed about your entire course of action beforehand, including all other required procedures.
2

Incisions

For minor tuberous breast cases, the doctor makes an incision around the patient’s nipple to evaluate the condition. They may also make small internal incisions to loosen the tight breast tissues and make space for implants. Doing so makes the lower area of the breast more round and improves the enlarged areola. Drains are not mandatory during the procedure.
3

Performing Other Surgeries

For those with moderate or severe tuberous breasts, the surgeon may combine many other breast surgeries to achieve the desired results. It can be mastopexy, breast augmentation, liposuction, nipple reduction, or similar procedures.
4

Post-Surgery Care

After the procedure, your surgeon will ask you to limit your arm and upper body movements, especially extensive exercises like intense sports and heavy weight lifting. However, gentle activities will help during the recovery. You will also be prevented from sexual and aerobic exercises for 2 weeks.
Your surgeon will recommend a supportive surgical bra to speed up your recovery. If the doctor used drain tubes during the procedure, you would have to visit the clinic after a week or so to get them removed.
5

Recovery

The recovery period for tuberous breast repair surgery varies depending on the procedures performed. Most patients who undergo this surgery return to work within a week with proper care. You may also feel mild to moderate pain for up to 3 days.
Mild swelling is also common during recovery, but you should have no bruising. If you suspect any unusual bruising, severe pain, or drainage, consult your surgeon immediately for an instant evaluation. Your breasts will take about 3 to 6 months to settle and appear natural.
