Understanding Tuberous Breast Correction

Why choose this treatment

Tuberous breasts are characterised by a narrow breast base, an enlarged areola and sometimes marked asymmetry. Surgical correction combines a glandular plasty to widen the base of the breast, a reduction and re-centring of the areola, and if necessary breast augmentation by implant or lipofilling. The aim is to obtain symmetrical, natural and aesthetically pleasing breasts.

Aesthetic and medical indications

Grade 2 or 3 tuberous breasts

Contraindications:

Pregnancy, breast-feeding, serious unstable illnesses, coagulation disorders.
