Tuberous
breast correction
At OgeePlast Clinic, tuberous breast correction addresses the malformation by restoring normal breast shape, volume, and projection.
What are tuberous breasts ?
Tuberous breast development is a malformation of normal breast tissue caused by an abnormal constricting ring of fibrous tissue. Typical symptoms of a tuberous breast are: a smaller breast contour – a shorter aspect of the breast – limited breast volume – a partially or completely absent lower breast pole – an elevated inframammary fold – a tubular aspect of the breast with a herniated aspect of the
nipple-areola complex – enlarged areola.
Correcting tuberous breast shape, volume and projections
Tuberous breast surgery involves the correction of all the mentioned issues to restore a normal breast shape, volume, and projection. In most cases, an incision around the areola suffices to perform the complete surgery. An implant is often needed to compensate for the restricted volume and breast fat grafting is added to further improve the corrections. In some cases, your insurance company may reimburse the costs for the surgery, when specific criteria are met. This can be analyzed during the consultation.
Benefits and recovery period
A tuberous breas correction aims to tackle all the issues in one surgery in order to enhance your look and quality of life significantly. Tuberous breast surgery has a downtime of 2 weeks with easy wound care. Physical activity should be avoided and a supportive bra should be worn for 6 weeks.
