Tuberous or tubular breasts are those that suffer abnormal development during puberty, most often in the lower quadrants. This lack of expansion of some areas of the breast generates a tubular or slightly expanded appearance, hence the name of tubular or tuberous breasts. It can affect one or both breasts in different degrees.

 

Surgery to correct tuberous breasts is not the same as a breast augmentation. It is similar, although it requires a correction of the affected quadrants of the chest and even, sometimes, of the areola. The type of technique used will depend on the conditions presented by each patient.
