Tuberous Breast Correction
Causes of Tuberous Breasts
The exact cause of tuberous breasts is still not fully understood. However, it is believed to be a result of abnormal breast tissue development during puberty. Genetics and hormonal factors are thought to play a role in the development of tuberous breasts, although further research is needed to fully elucidate the underlying causes.
Symptoms and Presentation
Tuberous breasts can present with a range of symptoms and physical characteristics, including:
- Breasts that are small in size, with underdeveloped breast tissue.
- Enlarged and puffy areolas that may appear herniated.
- High inframammary fold, causing a constricted or tubular shape.
- Widely spaced breasts with asymmetry.
- Narrow breast base, resulting in inadequate breast projection.
- Uneven distribution of breast tissue, creating a lopsided appearance.

During the recovery period, it is common to experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort. These symptoms can be managed with prescribed medication. A supportive surgical bra or compression garment will also need to be worn to aid the healing process.
