Obvious at puberty, tuberous breast deformity include underdeveloped breast size, incorrect positioning of the fold beneath the breast, breasts spaced too widely apart, bulging of the nipple-areolar area, and asymmetrical breasts. Women and men with tuberous breasts can display some or all of these features. Like any physical abnormality, the effects can impact on a person’s self-esteem and personal relationships.

Is this procedure for me?

With so many variables, no two tuberous breast conditions are the same, so Dr Dilip Gahankari takes an very individual approach to each breast correction procedure, addressing the conditions that are unique to you. Typically, breast correction surgery is very similar to breast augmentation, however tuberous breasts require breast reshaping, areolar balancing, and breast augmentation. Furthermore, breast reconstruction surgery is performed with an incision through either the nipple, or in the fold of the breast. In most cases, an implant will be used to correct the tuberous breast. Similar to breast enlargement, there are also many different options for the placement, shape and size of the implant used. All of these options will be will be discussed in full with Dr Dilip Gahankari during your initial, free consultation.

Pre and Post-Op Care

As Dr Gahankari takes an individual approach to each breast correction procedure, addressing the conditions unique to you, recovery times are varied for each patient. Typically, breast correction surgery is performed as a day surgery and you will remain in hospital for a couple of hours after the procedure. The first couple of days after your surgery you may experience some pain, however Dr Dilip Gahankari will prescribe you appropriate pain medication during your recovery. Bruising, swelling and some discomfort is expected and can last around two to three weeks, depending on your individual circumstances.

It is advised to take it easy for the first couple of weeks after your breast reconstruction procedure to ensure the best possible results. Light activity can be undertaken after two weeks and you should be back to full capacity around the six week mark, unless advised otherwise by Dr Gahankari. Your individual surgical options and recovery times will be discussed in full during your initial, free consultation for your breast correction surgery.

What Results Can I Expect?

The breast correction surgery will result in symmetrical, fuller and shapelier breasts. A reduction in the ‘puffiness’ of the nipple will also be evident after the surgery. Each surgery will be different, but in general, you may experience swelling and bruising for some weeks as well as over or under sensitive skin, however this will subside over time. The final result of your breast reconstructive procedure may take a couple of months to settle in and become evident, however you should see a noticeable difference straight after your surgery.
