Tuberous Breast Correction
Istanbul

“In breast aesthetics my aim is a result that is proportionate to your body, natural-looking and balanced.”

— Op. Dr. Selman Taşkın · Specialist in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery

A tuberous (tubular) breast is a congenital shape with a narrow base, a tubular/conical form, an underdeveloped lower pole and a widened/herniated areola. Correction releases the constricted tissue, expands the lower pole and, where needed, adds an implant to create a natural, symmetrical breast.

What Is a Tuberous Breast and Who Is It For?

It is for people with a congenital breast shape that is narrow-based, tubular, with an insufficient lower pole and a widened/puffy areola. It is often noticed in adolescence and can be one- or two-sided and asymmetrical.

It is planned individually by the degree of deformity: tissue release, expansion of the lower pole, areola reduction and, in most cases, an implant or fat transfer together.

Procedure and Recovery

It is performed under general anaesthesia. A surgical bra is worn the first days; swelling and tenderness subside within a few weeks. Return to work is at 1 week and heavy sport at 4–6 weeks.

Istanbul stands out in aesthetic-surgery tourism with experienced plastic surgeons, accredited operating theatres and affordable pricing. All surgery is performed by Op. Dr. Selman Taşkın.

Tuberous Breast Correction — Frequently Asked Questions

Yes; with tissue release, lower-pole expansion, areola reduction and, where needed, an implant, the deformity is largely corrected. The result is individual, depending on the degree and the tissue.
In most cases an implant is used to fill the lower pole and provide volume/symmetry; in mild cases fat transfer is also an option. The decision is made at examination.
The scar is usually planned around the areola; a vertical line can be added if needed. It is hidden by underwear/swimwear and fades over time.
It is done under general anaesthesia, so you feel no pain during surgery. Post-operative tightness is controlled with painkillers.
Yes; asymmetry is common in tuberous breasts, and each breast is planned separately to aim for symmetry.
The structural correction is permanent; if an implant is used, its natural lifespan is assessed separately. Weight changes and pregnancy can affect it over time.
With most techniques breastfeeding and sensation are largely preserved; however, it cannot be guaranteed and details are discussed at examination.
You feel no pain during surgery thanks to general anaesthesia; post-operative tightness and mild soreness are easily controlled with painkillers.
As with any surgery, infection, bleeding, scar issues, asymmetry and, if an implant is used, capsular contracture are possible. An experienced team minimises the risks.
The degree of deformity, the technique, implant/fat transfer, anaesthesia and hospital time determine the cost. Send photos for a transparent, all-inclusive quote.
