NYC Tubular Breast Deformity Surgery | Tuberous Breast Correction UES

Breasts come in all shapes and sizes, but certain shapes can be caused by abnormalities in breast formation. A tuberous breast deformity refers to breasts that have a congenital birth defect that impacts breast development. This is not a genetic or hereditary condition, so it does not run in families. Due to the unusual appearance, many women feel self-conscious of tuberous breasts and seek cosmetic breast surgery. Dr. Aviva Preminger is a board-certified plastic surgeon who offers congenital breast deformity surgery through her practice on the UES of NYC.

Symptoms of Tuberous Breasts

Called tuberous, conical or constricted breasts, a congenital breast deformity can be mild to severe. The main component of tuberous breasts is the narrow base, which creates the tubular or conical shape. Tuberous breast deformity has a few other symptoms that can accompany the long, conical shape, including:

Asymmetry
Puffy or enlarged areolas
Smaller or underdeveloped breasts
Higher breast crease
Breasts spaced farther apart

The smaller, uneven breasts with herniated areolas and elongated shape are the tell-tale signs of congenital breast deformity. Beyond the appearance, the breast defect does not cause any pain or discomfort, but in some cases, it can impact breastfeeding. Some women with tuberous breasts may have underdeveloped glands and ducts, restricting milk production for breastfeeding. The most significant concern with tuberous breasts is the impact on the individual’s self-confidence and esteem.

Tuberous Breast Correction

Congenital breast deformity surgery is used to correct certain cosmetic defects to create symmetrical, well-shaped breasts. In this breast correction surgery, the areolas and breasts can be reshaped, and the breast crease lowered to create rounder, symmetrical breasts. Dr. Preminger begins each procedure with an extensive consultation and exam to determine the options available for each patient. She will discuss how the breasts can be reshaped and options for increasing or balancing size with augmentation.

If you have a congenital breast deformity, plastic surgery can be the solution to create symmetrical, beautiful breasts for improved self-confidence. To learn more, contact our team at the practice of Dr. Aviva Preminger to schedule a consultation at our clinic in Manhattan.
