Asymmetric Tuberous Breast
For many women, breasts are a defining aspect of their femininity. This is why the size and shape of a woman’s breasts play a role in a woman’s confidence in their body image and feelings of self-esteem. But what if you have asymmetric tuberous breasts, and you are not happy with your asymmetric breasts?
In that case, you can opt to correct your tuberous breasts with breast surgery. Breast augmentation and breast reduction are common surgical procedures that can help improve or reshape the breasts of a woman according to her preference and perception.
But before we learn more about this treatment method, let’s focus on what tuberous breasts mean.
What Are Tuberous Breasts?
Asymmetric Tuberous Breast Treatment Before After
Tuberous breasts, also known as tubular breasts or tubular breast deformity, is a condition in which the breasts of a woman are misshapen by a congenital abnormality. This restricts the normal development of the breasts during puberty. These breasts are characterized by having not enough skin or fullness under the areola. It also consists of a large, prominent, or outward-protruding areola with downward-pointing or drooping nipples.
Tuberous breasts can also occur with asymmetry. These conditions can affect either one or both breasts. If both breasts are affected, then the patient might also notice an unusually wide space between the breasts. There might also be deficiencies in breast tissue and the skin covering the breast.
Because of the fact that there is a wide range of symptoms of this condition, if you suspect that you have tuberous breasts, you should directly speak with a plastic surgeon. A plastic surgeon can help diagnose and provide treatment for the condition.
The Cause Of Tuberous Breasts
According to medical experts, the exact cause of tuberous breasts is not identified. However, it is believed to be caused by a congenital defect, which refers to a condition that a baby is born with, which is why this condition cannot be diagnosed until puberty when the breasts begin to develop.
This condition is not genetic, as a mother’s tubular breasts serve no indication that the child will have tubular breasts as well. The condition also has no effect on fertility, but it can make breastfeeding difficult due to the size and shape of the breasts. Milk production might also be compromised. It is important to note that tubular breasts are not physically threatening. But this condition can take a major toll on a woman’s self-confidence.
Women who suffer from tubular breasts also tend to have asymmetric breasts. This condition refers to a difference between the breasts in terms of size, volume, position, or form. This condition might happen due to water retention or additional blood flow to one breast, which causes it to become enlarged during ovulation. If this is the cause for the condition, then the breasts will shrink and retain more water depending on the menstrual cycle of the woman. Other causes of asymmetric breasts are:
- Hormonal changes
- Traumatic injuries to the breast bud at a young age
- Underlying, non-cancerous fibroids
- An underlying medical or skeletal condition like scoliosis
The Procedure For Correcting Tubular And Asymmetric Breasts
If you are suffering from asymmetric tubular breasts, the first step is to book a consultation with your medical expert. Discuss the type of final results you want from the surgery, and don’t shy away from sharing your complete medical history with the doctor.
Depending on the type of final results wanted, the procedure for correcting the condition can vary. A few common steps that plastic surgeons follow to correct asymmetric tubular breasts are:
- A small incision is made in the lower part of the breast
- Any constricted tissue found will be corrected to allow space for the insertion of an implant
- A new lower breast fold and the glandular flap are formed to create an appropriate shape
- Depending on the results desired, an implant will be inserted or breast reduction will be performed to sculpt the breast tissue to the desired shape and size

Within a few days, the patient should be able to walk around and perform low-stress, sedentary work. It is recommended that one should avoid any strenuous physical activities for several weeks. This is done to ensure improvement over time. The complete recovery can take around 2 months.
