A <\/span><b>tuberous breast is a<\/b> <b>congenital anomaly<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that can involve various alterations. Each patient may present with one, several or all of them. And unilaterally (in one breast) or bilaterally (in both).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most common are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Areolar herniation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This is what gives the breast its tubular shape.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Unusually large areola<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, with an excessive diameter (macrotelia).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>High inframammary fold<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The fold where the breast meets the chest wall sits higher than usual.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sagging (ptosis)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The nipple-areola complex is level with (grade I, mild) or below the inframammary fold (grade II, moderate, or grade III, severe).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Narrow breast base<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The breast is not very wide, as if it were \u201cconstricted\u201d.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Small or flat lower pole<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> due to a<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lack of glandular tissue development.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Visible asymmetry in size and\/or shape<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Sometimes very pronounced.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\nWith that said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><b>mastopexy is needed if there is sagging, as part of the overall solution<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Within corrective surgery for tuberous breasts, it allows us to lift the nipple-areola complex and reposition the breast to give it a firmer, more youthful and attractive appearance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It may be indicated <\/span><b>in one breast or in both<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Ptosis does not necessarily occur symmetrically in both breasts. In fact, in our own experience, it is not uncommon for patients to require correction on only one side and not the other. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And it is usually <\/span><b>periareolar or inverted-T<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In mild cases, a periareolar mastopexy is usually enough. That is, through an incision around the areola. The resulting scar is very well concealed by the natural edge of the areola.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An <\/span><b>implant may or may not<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> also be needed. It depends on the patient&#8217;s anatomy, the amount of breast tissue and the aesthetic result she wants.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image onclick=&#8221;img_link_large&#8221; image=&#8221;22411&#8243; img_size=&#8221;700&#215;290&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1794508890868{margin-right: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 40px !important;}&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1794508614661{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 16px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 12px;text-align: center\"><strong>Breast ptosis classification.<\/strong> The line marks the height of the inframammary fold.

As I mentioned before, we are dealing with a congenital anomaly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are several theories about how it originates. In general, it has been observed that at the base of the breast is formed a <\/span><b>ring of fibrous tissue<\/b> <b>that constricts the gland <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and limits its expansion. It forces it to grow forward through the areola (areolar herniation).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Imagine as if you will squeeze a balloon with the hand and it will deform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In this way, the breast develops in that tubular shape. If it grows pointing downwards, the areola-nipple complex extends beyond the inframammary fold, resulting in ptosis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Okay, so what does this mean?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That we&#8217;re going to need\u00a0 repairing<\/span><b> the architecture of the chest in addition to lifting it <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">as well as solving any existing problems.

We use the Von Heimburg classification to assess it, which distinguishes 4 types of tuberous breast. The higher the type, the more severe the deformity and the more complex the surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, <\/span><b>we take into account preferences and anatomical possibilities<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Each patient has her own wishes regarding shape and size. We adapt as far as possible, always seeking to improve or restore symmetry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Broadly speaking, what is most often done is:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Release the constriction<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The ring of fibrous tissue is \u201cbroken\u201d to free the gland, widen the breast base and lower the inframammary fold. These are very precise incisions that prevent the tendency to return to the previous situation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Remodel the gland<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Once released, it is redistributed throughout the breast to give it a rounded, aesthetic and natural appearance.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Reduce and reposition the areola<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Its size, herniation and position are corrected. This is where we perform the mastopexy to resolve the sagging and place the nipple-areola complex at an appropriate height and distance from the inframammary fold.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Add volume with implants<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Round, anatomical or ergonomic, depending on the case. They are usually placed in a dual-plane or subglandular position. At our clinic, we always try to use the inframammary approach. It&#8217;s safer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Lipofilling<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. We extract fat from another part of the body and use it to enhance breast fullness and refine its shape.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\nDifferent techniques are used depending on what is needed.

Tuberous breasts have a significant psychological and social impact. When you see your breasts round, firm and harmonious, with a proportionate areola, the feeling is indescribable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In more severe cases, it is true that there is a greater chance of some residual asymmetry remaining or of breastfeeding being affected. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even so, the improvement is so significant that patients end up happy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, the <\/span><b>post-operative period is not very complicated<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It depends on how complex the procedure has been. Treating a type I tuberous breast without implants or mastopexy is not the same as treating a type IV, which requires lifting and inserting implants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regarding <\/span><b>complications<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Most are associated with implants or poor surgical technique<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Capsular contracture, malposition, rupture, seroma, infection, loss of sensation, poor healing\u2026<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>A well-known one is the<\/b> <b>double bubble sign<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If the ring of fibrous tissue is not properly corrected, it can prevent the skin from stretching when the implant is inserted. This results in what looks like a double fold at the lower pole of the breast.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>There may also be<\/b> <b><i>rippling<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is, visible ripples in the skin. This is a consequence of using an implant that is too large in a tuberous breast that does not have enough tissue to cover it properly, of poor-quality skin, or of using insufficiently cohesive implants.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>These risks are minimal with a qualified plastic surgeon<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It is a safe and effective surgery, but it requires an accurate diagnosis, highly refined medical skill and experience.
