Tubular breasts, also known as tuberous breasts, are a congenital condition that results in an unusual breast shape. This condition varies in severity, ranging from mild unevenness to significant deformity. Tubular breasts often feature a narrow base, elongated shape, and enlarged, protruding areolas. Women with this condition may feel self-conscious about their appearance. Tubular breast surgery aims to improve body image, self-esteem, and confidence by creating a more natural breast shape.
Tubular breast surgery is a complex procedure that corrects the unique challenges posed by tubular breasts. This surgery requires an experienced surgeon with a keen aesthetic sense to achieve the best possible results. The procedure often involves placing a breast implant to enhance volume and reshape the breast. However, simply adding an implant may not fully correct the deformity. Additional techniques, such as a breast lift (mastopexy) and adjustments to the nipple and areola, are often necessary to achieve a balanced, natural appearance.
Ideal candidates for tubular breast correction are women in good health who have stable body weight. Candidates typically seek a more natural breast size and shape that complements their overall body proportions. Whether the condition is mild or severe, surgery can help create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance, boosting self-confidence.
