What are tubular breasts?

Tubular breasts are a congenital malformation of the breast that occurs during puberty. This condition, also known as tuberous breasts, is characterized by abnormal development of the breast tissue, resulting in breasts with an elongated shape, narrow base, and a cylindrical or tubular appearance. Additionally, the areola is often enlarged, and there is frequently significant asymmetry between the breasts.

How Is a tubular breast correction procedure performed?

The correction of tubular breasts is a specialized surgical procedure aimed at giving the breasts a more rounded and natural shape. The process typically includes the following steps:

  • Initial Evaluation: The surgeon assesses the severity of the condition and discusses available options with the patient, ensuring that expectations are realistic.
  • Surgical Techniques: The procedure may involve releasing constrictive breast tissue, placing implants for added volume, and reshaping the glandular tissue. In some cases, the nipple position is adjusted to achieve a more symmetrical appearance.
  • Closure and Recovery: The incisions are carefully closed to minimize potential scarring. Recovery involves following the surgeon's instructions to ensure proper healing and optimal results.

Who is a good candidate for tuberous breast correction?

The ideal candidate is someone with a congenital malformation of the breasts who wishes to improve their shape, symmetry, and proportion. The surgery is generally suitable for individuals with a narrow breast base, enlarged areolas, and significant asymmetry.

The procedure is recommended for individuals in good overall health, without any conditions that may affect healing or recovery. It is also important that breast surgery be performed once the breasts have fully developed, typically around the age of 18.

Additionally, it is recommended that the patient understands both the benefits and limitations of the procedure. In some cases, the surgery may be combined with breast implants, mastopexy, or glandular tissue remodeling for a more balanced result. It is essential that the patient is willing to follow pre- and post-operative medical instructions to ensure optimal recovery and minimize the risk of complications.

Preoperative tests for tubular breast surgery

Before surgery, tests will be conducted to ensure the patient is in optimal condition for the procedure:

  • Blood Tests: To evaluate coagulation and other health factors.
  • Breast Screening (Mammography) or Ultrasound: To gain a clear view of the breast tissue and plan the surgery.

Postoperative care for tubular breast surgery

After surgery, it is crucial to follow the surgeon's recommendations to ensure proper recovery:

  • Incision Care: Keep the incisions clean and dry to prevent infection.
  • Use of Postoperative Bras: Wear special bras that provide support without compromising healing.
  • Avoid Intense Activities: During the first few weeks, avoid lifting heavy objects and intense activities that may affect the treated area.

Factors that influence the price of tubular breast correction

  • Degree of Correction Required: The severity of the deformity and the level of correction needed can affect the cost.
  • Surgical Technique Used: Some techniques are more complex and may require more time and resources, which increases the price.
  • Use of Implants: The use of breast implants may increase the total cost.
  • Additional Materials: In some cases, additional materials such as skin grafts or tissues may be needed, which affects the price.
  • Duration of Surgery: The longer the procedure, the higher the associated cost.

**Tuberous breasts are a condition that affects not only the physical appearance of patients but also their self-esteem.** Often, women who seek consultation feel frustrated because, despite efforts to improve the appearance of their bust through clothing or exercise, they are unable to achieve the results they desire. Correcting tuberous breasts is not just an aesthetic change — it is a step toward regaining self-confidence and enhancing overall quality of life.

**In my practice, I have witnessed how tuberous breast correction techniques have advanced significantly in recent years.** In the past, treatment options were limited, and results often fell short of patient expectations. Today, modern surgical techniques allow for much more precise breast reshaping, achieving more natural and lasting outcomes. Most importantly, the surgery not only corrects the shape of the bust but also restores the overall aesthetic balance of the body.

**One of the most important aspects when treating tuberous breasts is understanding that every case is unique.** No two patients have the same anatomy or the same expectations. That’s why I always conduct a detailed assessment before any procedure to ensure the treatment is fully tailored to each patient’s needs and goals. The objective is not just to improve the shape of the breasts, but to achieve a harmonious and balanced appearance throughout the entire body.

After surgery, I have seen their confidence grow significantly, and that is incredibly rewarding as a physician. Tuberous breast correction is more than just an aesthetic improvement — it is an opportunity for patients to feel better about themselves and face the world with a renewed sense of self-assurance.

**One of the most common questions I receive from my patients is about the recovery process after tuberous breast correction.** While every body is different, most patients are able to resume their daily activities within a few days, with some precautions. Around six weeks after surgery, the results become increasingly visible. Most importantly, following medical advice carefully is essential to ensure a smooth and successful recovery without complications.

**My priority when performing tuberous breast correction is to achieve natural-looking results.** Many patients worry that their breasts might look "operated on" or unnatural, but with today’s techniques, we can shape the breast while always respecting each patient’s unique anatomy. The key is to understand the body’s proportions and work in harmony with them. This approach ensures results that are subtle yet impactful, helping patients feel comfortable and happy with their appearance.
