Tubular breast deformity, a condition characterized by underdeveloped breasts that may appear elongated or constricted at the base, is a common cosmetic concern for women. This congenital anomaly can affect both the aesthetic appearance and the psychological well-being of those who it impacts. Fortunately, the plastic surgeons at Graper Harper Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Garrett Harper, Dr. Robert Graper, and Dr. Evon Zoog, can transform your breasts with tubular breast correction surgeries that restore natural contours and symmetry to the breasts.
Understanding Tubular Breast Deformity
Tubular breast deformity, also known as tuberous breast deformity, typically becomes apparent during puberty. This condition is marked by a range of symptoms from mild to severe, including herniation of the nipple-areola complex, asymmetry, and a narrow breast base. It can occur in one or both breasts. Women with this condition often experience significant emotional distress and may feel dissatisfied with their physical appearance.
Our Comprehensive Surgical Approach
Correcting tubular breasts requires a customized approach that addresses both the functional and aesthetic concerns associated with the condition. At Graper Harper Cosmetic Surgery, we utilize a combination of techniques tailored to the specific needs of each patient:
- Breast Augmentation: To address the lack of volume, breast implants may be used. This not only provides fuller breasts but also helps in expanding the constricted breast tissue, contributing to a more typical breast shape.
- Tissue Expansion: In cases where the skin is tight and lacks elasticity, tissue expanders may be employed to gradually stretch the skin and accommodate an implant.
- Mastopexy (breast lift): A breast lift is often necessary to correct the position of the downward-pointing nipples and elevate the overall breast contour.
- Areola Correction: Reducing the size of the enlarged areola and repositioning it appropriately is also a key component of creating a more natural breast appearance.
Each journey begins with a thorough consultation, during which Dr. Harper, Dr. Graper, or Dr. Zoog will evaluate your specific case, discuss your aesthetic goals, and explain the possible treatments. We employ advanced imaging techniques to aid in visualizing the potential outcomes and to assist in planning your surgery with precision. Our goal is to ensure you are fully informed and comfortable with the proposed treatment plan.
Tubular Breast Correction Recovery and Results
Recovery from tubular breast correction surgery varies by individual and the extent of the procedure. Generally, patients are advised to take adequate rest and follow specific post-operative care instructions to facilitate healing and optimize results. Most patients can resume normal activities, such as working out, within one to two weeks.
