Tuberous breasts deformity is a congenital disorder that makes the breasts fail to develop fully. Whereas a normal breast is supposed to appear round and breast tissues spreading out across the chest, in tuberous breasts condition they appear long and narrow, plus the tissues concentrate directly below the nipples.

The main sign of the condition is the unusual appearance of breasts, that is narrow base, enlarged nipple-areolar complexes, and breast may appear droop.

General anesthesia is required to ensure there is a comfort during the surgery by protecting the patient’s airways. Both augmentation procedures and tuberous breast treatment can be performed at the same surgery for patients who may require both. A majority of patients fall under the category though.

For patients who suffer from a mild level of tuberous breast, the deformity will not require an implant to fill the lower pole of the breast. The breast can instead be lifted by injecting fat in the lower poles of the breasts to avoid implants.

After the surgery, the patient will have a scar left on the operated area. The scars differ from one patient to another, they will fade on there on though they cannot disappear completely. To conceal the marks, topical scar cream can be of use.

The surgery is in most cases on an outpatient basis. No heavy dressing is required after surgery, therefore, the patient can shower on the same day the surgery was conducted or the following day. Apart from the moderate discomfort that directly depends on the extent of the surgery, patients are advised to come for a checkup after 3-5 from the day of surgery. You can resume normal exercise after two weeks of the surgery.

People with the condition are unable to breastfeed as the breast is already not fully developed. Therefore, surgery alone may not affect breastfeeding. If pregnant, wait until six months after delivery to do the operation.
