Tuberous breasts, sometimes called tubular breasts, are a congenital condition where breast development is restricted, resulting in a narrow, elongated shape. This condition can impact self-confidence and affect the symmetry and appearance of the breasts. If this is a concern, tuberous breast surgery, offered by Mr Naveen Cavale, provides a solution for those seeking to reshape and enhance their breasts.
What is Tuberous Breast Surgery?
Tuberous breast surgery is a corrective procedure designed to reshape and expand the breast tissue, creating a more rounded, fuller appearance. The surgery typically involves a combination of breast augmentation, breast lift, and tissue expansion techniques. Implants may be used to increase volume, while incisions around the nipple area help reposition and widen the breast base, providing a natural contour.
Key Benefits of Tuberous Breast Surgery
- Boosted Confidence: Many patients feel more confident after achieving a natural, rounded look.
- Improved Symmetry: Helps balance uneven breasts for a harmonious appearance.
- Enhanced Volume and Shape: Adds fullness to correct the narrow, elongated appearance of tuberous breasts.
The Procedure and Recovery
The surgery usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours, under general anaesthesia. During the operation, incisions are made around the areola, allowing the surgeon to release constricted tissue, place implants if needed, and reshape the breast for a fuller appearance. Recovery may take several weeks, with patients advised to limit strenuous activities and wear supportive garments as instructed by their surgeon. Swelling and tenderness are common initially, but these symptoms gradually subside.
Ideal Candidates for Tuberous Breast Surgery
Ideal candidates are individuals in good health, who are non-smokers and feel restricted by the appearance of their breasts. Mr Cavale will conduct a thorough consultation to determine if the procedure aligns with your goals and expectations.
Post-Surgery Care and Results
Results from tuberous breast surgery are long-lasting. However, it’s essential to follow all post-surgery instructions, including wearing a supportive bra, avoiding certain exercises, and attending follow-up appointments. Mr Cavale ensures each patient receives personalised aftercare to support a smooth recovery and optimal outcome.
FAQs About Tuberous Breast Surgery
1. How do I know if I have tuberous breasts?
A qualified plastic surgeon, like Mr Cavale, can confirm this condition during a consultation, based on specific characteristics like a narrow breast base and higher nipple positioning.
2. Will I need implants to correct tuberous breasts?
Implants are often recommended to improve volume, but this depends on the degree of the condition and your personal goals.
3. How long does recovery take?
Most patients recover within 4 to 6 weeks, though full results may be seen several months post-surgery.
4. Are the results permanent?
Yes, the results are long-lasting, though natural ageing and lifestyle factors may subtly impact breast shape over time.
5. Will there be noticeable scarring?
Incisions are placed to minimise visible scarring, typically around the areola, and these usually fade significantly with time.
Tuberous breast surgery offers a transformative solution for individuals with naturally narrow or elongated breasts.
