A follow-up consultation ensures you are fully informed and confident before proceeding with surgery.

Surgical Options and Techniques

Tuberous Breast Surgery involves a combination of techniques to reshape and

enhance the breasts. The approach is tailored to your unique anatomy and concerns.

Procedures:

Releasing the Constricted Tissue – Tight breast tissue is surgically released to allow the breast to expand into a fuller, rounder shape.
Breast Augmentation (If Needed) – Breast implants may be used to enhance size and projection, creating a balanced shape.
Breast Lift (If Needed) – If the breasts sag, a breast lift may be performed to elevate the position.
Areola Reduction & Repositioning – Enlarged or misshapen areolas can be resized and repositioned for a more natural appearance.

Incision Techniques:

Periareolar (Donut Lift) – A circular incision around the areola, best for mild tuberous breast correction.
Lollipop (Vertical Lift) – A circular incision around the areola plus a vertical incision down the breast, used for moderate correction.
Anchor (Inverted-T Lift) – Used for severe cases requiring extensive reshaping.

Dr. Tornambe selects the best technique based on your breast shape, severity of constriction, and personal goals.

Bandages & Surgical Bra – You will wear a surgical bra to support healing and reduce swelling.
Return to Work in 4-7 Days – Most patients resume light activities within a week.
Avoid Strenuous Exercise for 4-6 Weeks – To allow proper healing, avoid heavy lifting and high-impact activities.
Scar Management & Follow-Ups – Dr. Tornambe and his team provide detailed scar care instructions to minimize scarring.

To correct tuberous breasts, skin and breast tissue must be reshaped and repositioned, leading to scars. However, Dr. Tornambe minimizes scarring using advanced surgical techniques.

Many women retain the ability to breastfeed, but results vary based on the severity of constriction and surgical technique.

Surgery is typically recommended after puberty, usually around age 16 or older if implants are needed. It is important that the patient is emotionally ready for the procedure.

Smoking reduces blood flow, which can delay healing and worsen scarring. Patients must quit smoking for at least two weeks before and after surgery.

Some patients experience temporary changes in nipple sensation, but most regain normal feeling during recovery.
