Tuberous Breast Correction (Tubular / Constricted breasts)

Tuberous breasts: What are they? Basically the base of the breast is narrower than a usual breast and the fold underneath is also higher, however each case is patient specific. This can also lead to a shorter distance between your nipples and the folds of your breasts.

The name tuberous comes from the shape they make, with a narrower breast base, it becomes elongated and the nipples can domed and abnormal looking, again this can vary from patient to patient.

As cases vary, you could have a mild case, or a severe case of tuberous breasts, and there is no way of actually knowing the severity of abnormalities without physically seeing the patient. The cause is currently unknown, and from previous patients we’ve heard stories about how it has caused embarrassment throughout teenage years and into adult life.
