Who is it suitable for?
The diagnosis of tuberous breast is considered in cases where the breasts do not complete their normal development from adolescence, the nipple is large or prominent outwards, and the breast base is narrow and misshapen. Surgical correction can be performed at any age.
Applied Surgical Techniques
The treatment includes freeing the breast tissue, enlarging the breast base, reshaping the nipple contour and placing silicone implants when volume is required. Combined procedures are usually required.
Tuberous breast deformity is a structural defect that occurs during breast development. It occurs with inadequate development of the lower pole of the breast and attracts aesthetic attention. With surgical correction, the breast is given a natural form and a symmetrical and balanced appearance is obtained.
The informed consent form is a legally required document signed by the patient prior to any medical procedure.
Please consult your doctor for detailed information. You will be asked to review the consent form carefully before your surgery.
Operation and Recovery
The operation time is usually 2-2.5 hours. It is personalised according to the tissue structure. 1 night hospital stay is recommended. The healing process is 1 week. Scars are positioned around the inframammary fold and nipple.
Results
Natural, round, proportional and symmetrical breast appearance is achieved. It positively affects psychological self-confidence and body image. The results are usually permanent.
