Tubular Breast Correction

Tubular breast, also referred to as tuberous breast, constricted breast, or oval breast is a congenital variation of the normal. I see women of all ages with this condition, but mostly very young women notice this when you first begin to compare your anatomy with other women, and notice there is a significant abnormal shape. Regardless of the age at presentation, it is always something that many women hate, feel embarrassed about, and wished you could have corrected. I understand these feeling and want you to know that this can be corrected and I can do this for you.

Tubular breast is a condition of development of the breast gland and the overlying skin where the breast is not round but oval, the lower pole skin between the nipple and fold is tight and short, the breast fold is higher up under the breast, the areola is large and puffy, and the amount of breast tissue is minimal. It is not an inherited condition. The breasts are usually very uneven and asymmetric in this condition. Tubular breast correction is very technical, but typically very predictable. It relies on the use of a carefully selected implant and carefully placed incisions internally that, taken all together, release scar tissue, round out the bottom of the breast, create a lower and more natural breast crease, create cleavage, add volume, lift and perk up the breast. The surgery may be associated with a breast lift with incisions if there is extreme drooping. Almost always this surgery can be performed in one stage, with an incision no bigger than that required for breast enlargement. I have special expertise in this surgery and my outstanding surgical results draw patients from all over the world. There are many different anatomic variations of tubular breasts which we address prior to your surgery. Your anatomy, combined with your expectations, is used to put a plan together. There are numerous different techniques, types of implants, and incisions to use to the point where tubular breast correction surgery is ever more artistic, more natural, and more predictable than ever before. Much can be done with this surgery to not only increase the size of your breasts, but to provide a very beautiful and natural shape. A wide array of implants are available from saline to silicone, from fuzzy to smooth, from round to anatomic. Gel fill implants have evolved to be very safe, natural feeling, and causing less contracture. Surgery involves a relatively short procedure under a light general anesthetic, performed where I do surgery, which is in a hospital setting. Very soon after surgery, as the implant drops, you see your result and it just gets better in time. All the stitches are dissolvable; the recovery is rapid, with return to work in several days, and to some physical exercise within the first week.

Surgery to correct tubular breast deformity is very common in my practice. I have performed hundreds of these procedures with consistently beautiful and natural results. I have special expertise in this procedure and spend a great deal of time discussing your anatomy, listening to your expectations, and interpreting for you what your anatomy and body will allow me to do in a safe and predictable way. In addition, I build a system into every surgery that, initially, allows you to recover much quicker and, secondly, serves to preserve your surgical results. This system includes a special diet, vitamins, supplements, special garments, breast exercises, skin products, physical training and knowing what to avoid. Together, all of this allows me to create results that are consistently very beautiful, quick to heal, exceptionally natural, and with minimal incisions, especially in an area of such great importance to women. I am delighted to surgically provide you with such a profound body image change, and one that has consistently so pleased my patients and changed their lives.
