Tuberous Breast Treatment in Mumbai

Q: Is the correction of tuberous breasts painful?

During surgery, anesthesia ensures you remain comfortable and pain-free. Post-operative soreness and swelling are normal, but discomfort is typically well-managed with prescribed pain medication.

Q: Can tuberous breasts affect breast symmetry?

Yes — tuberous breast deformity often causes noticeable asymmetry between the two breasts. Surgical correction focuses on improving symmetry along with overall shape and volume.

Q: Will tuberous breast surgery leave scars?

Like any breast surgery, tuberous breast correction creates scars at the incision sites, but they are placed strategically to be as discreet as possible. With time and proper care, these scars usually fade and become less noticeable.

The condition of tuberous breast deformity can cause abnormalities of breast volume, volume distribution, breast shape and nipple areolar size and shape. Tuberous breasts are not simply small or underdeveloped breasts.

The effect of the condition on the appearance of the breast can range from mild to severe and typical characteristics include enlarged, puffy areola, the unusually wide spacing between the breasts, minimal breast tissue, sagging, higher than normal breast fold and narrow base at the chest wall. The condition can cause low milk supply in breastfeeding women. However, other physical aspects of fertility and pregnancy are not affected by the condition.

Any deformity of the breasts is only apparent during puberty and this may lead to psychosexual problems with girls in very early puberty, being affected psychologically due to the unusual shape of the breast. There are a number of degrees of severity depending on the constriction of the breast base, the level of the breast crease, the envelope, the breast volume and the nipple areolar complex. The severity will influence the type of treatment employed.

The principles of treatment are to expand the constricted base, lower the breast crease, increase the envelope, augment the volume, reduce the nipple areolar complex and the herniated breast tissue and restore symmetry to the breast.

The treatment options include:

Breast Uplift or Mastopexy.

Breast Augmentation or Breast Implant Surgery.

Tissue Expansion.

Combinations of the above.
