What is Tuberous Breast Reconstruction?

Tuberous breast reconstruction is a specialized procedure that reshapes tuberous breasts to a natural contour. It involves repositioning the inframammary fold, increasing lower pole volume, and redistributing breast tissue, often with a breast implant to enhance volume, shape, and projection. This approach also reduces areola size and improves cleavage and asymmetry.

Tuberous Breast Reconstruction Procedure: What to Expect

Step 1: Anesthesia

The procedure begins with the administration of local anesthesia and IV sedation to ensure your comfort.

Step 2: The Incision(s)

Precise incisions are strategically made, often around the areola, to access and reshape the underlying tissues.

Step 3 –Reshaping and Base Expansion

The constricted breast base and malformed glandular tissue are carefully reshaped and expanded to create a natural contour.

Step 4 – Areola/Nipple Correction & Implant Placement

The enlarged areola is reduced and repositioned, and breast implants may be inserted to achieve desired volume and shape.

Step 5 – Closing the Incisions

Incisions are meticulously closed with sutures, and dressings are applied to support the newly sculpted breast.

Step 6 – The Results

Initial healing involves swelling, with final, balanced, and harmonious breast contours emerging over several months.
