Tuberous breast correction with implants may be considered when breast development includes a narrow base, constricted lower pole, high crease, enlarged areola, underdevelopment or asymmetry. An implant is only one possible part of treatment and is not suitable for everyone.

Individual assessment

The surgeon should assess breast and chest dimensions, skin and gland tissue, nipple and areola position, asymmetry, health, smoking, future pregnancy plans and expectations. The plan may involve releasing constricted tissue, reshaping the gland, changing the crease or areola, fat transfer, an implant, a lift or staged treatment.

Implant choices and limitations

Where an implant is recommended, discuss size, shape, surface, placement, manufacturer information and long-term monitoring. Implants are not lifetime devices. They do not guarantee symmetry, a cup size or a particular appearance, and further surgery may be required.

Risks

Risks include bleeding, infection, fluid collection, delayed healing, altered nipple sensation, scars, asymmetry, contour irregularity, implant rupture or displacement, capsular contracture, dissatisfaction and revision. The surgeon should explain device-specific risks and alternatives without implants.
