Tubular breasts are typically a congenital condition that becomes apparent around puberty when the breasts fail to develop fully. The shape of the breasts is restricted by a fibrous ridge encircling the base of the breast tissue that causes them to protrude in a conical shape instead of forming a rounded appearance.
Tubular breasts often cause lowered self-esteem and increased psychological stress. Fortunately, cosmetic breast surgeries can address the shape, size, and symmetry of your breasts to restore a more natural contour as well as a boost in self-confidence. Tubular breast surgery in Richmond produces dramatic, potentially life-transforming results. Call us today to learn more.
How Does Tubular Breast Surgery Work?
Tuberous breast correction is a specialized procedure requiring extensive experience. At our Richmond clinic, several treatment options are available for corrective tubular breast surgery, including tissue expansion and breast augmentation.
While everyone’s needs are different based on their anatomical structure, aesthetic goals, and severity of shape irregularity, typically, a breast implant in conjunction with an incision along the border of the areola allows for the highest degree of control and precision when Dr. Montante places the implant. This technique gives your breasts a natural, symmetrical, and full appearance.
In many instances, we may recommend a combination lift and augmentation procedure to further restore a more rounded breast shape. Some women may also benefit from fat grafting. During your initial consultation, we will discuss your options and preferences at length to customize a treatment plan and surgical approach that suits your unique needs and ensures you have the best breast shape and size for your physique.
Tubular Breast Surgery Recovery
Recovery timelines will vary based on your body’s natural healing process as well as the extensiveness of your procedure. Prior to your surgery, our team will provide you with pre and post-operative instructions that are individualized to your circumstances. It is vital to follow these carefully to minimize complications and protect your results.
Generally, the procedure takes two to three hours. We recommend at least ten days of recovery time. You should be able to continue your regular routine after two to three weeks. Some swelling may persist for the next few months.
