Breast Procedure

Pre Operative Question Answer

What are tubular breasts, and how are they different from other breast shapes?

Tubular breasts, also known as tuberous breasts or constricted breasts, are a specific breast shape characterized by a narrow base, a higher inframammary fold, and a lack of fullness in the lower portion of the breast. This results in a tubular or cylindrical appearance. Unlike other breast shapes, tubular breasts have unique features such as a more elongated and constricted shape, asymmetry, enlarged areolas, and a higher risk of herniated breast tissue. Understanding your individual breast shape is crucial when considering plastic surgery, as it allows the surgeon to tailor the procedure to address your specific concerns and achieve the desired aesthetic outcome.
