Correction of the tubular breast

Elimination of breast bulging

Breast imperfections are not always associated with its areola or volume. Very often, girls and women need the help of plastic surgeons to correct their tubular breasts.

Tubular breasts are abnormalities in the development of the mammary glands. This anomaly makes the breast unnecessarily elongated and conical. As a “bonus” to this pathology, the asymmetry of the nipple-areola complex and the mammary glands as a whole can be added. The solution to the above problems will be plastic surgery.

Indications for Tubular Breast Correction

Main indications for the correction of tubular breast:

• Tightness of the nipples.
• Underdevelopment of areoles.
• Bulging areolas.
• Excessively elongated breast shape.
• Problems with the development of the mammary gland (uneven development towards the nipple).
• The presence of a large distance between the mammary glands.

Plastic surgery technology

When contacting a plastic surgeon, women understand that the non-standard structure of their mammary glands is due to anomalies in the development of the mammary glands. This is due to the fact that they are not in the place of the breast muscle, but are extended in the form of a turunda (tube). That is why the anomaly is called the tubular breast.

The degree of tubularity of the mammary glands can be different. In any case, its correction should be carried out by a plastic surgeon with a sufficient level of professionalism and experience. This is Andrey Leonidovich Kharkov.

In the process of surgery, he takes into account all the structural features of the mammary glands. To correct tubularity, several surgical interventions can be performed simultaneously. This can be, for example, a combination of breast augmentation and lifting, areola correction.

Thus, one cannot do without a full-fledged surgical intervention. The operation is performed on patients who have reached the age of 23. This is due to the fact that a prerequisite for plastic surgery is the completion of the formation of the mammary glands. If the operation is performed before this age, additional correction may be needed in the future.

If we are talking about a severe form of pathology, the aesthetic shape of the breast can be restored within a year. Breast correction includes the following surgical techniques:

• Prosthetics

The aim of the surgery is to correct the tubular breast using a special augmentation technique using special implants. In this case, periareolar access is used. The gland is evenly distributed over the endoprosthesis and special notches are made on it.

• Installing the expander

This stage is indispensable for type II and III pathology. This stage can be regarded as the initial correction of the tubular mammary gland. It is preparatory for breast prosthetics.

Once every two weeks, it is filled with a special solution. Thanks to this, its volume gradually increases. Thus, the tissues are stretched and the implant can be installed.

The stretching period may fluctuate. It all depends on how big the tissue deficit is. The expander will need to be worn for at least 2-3 months.

• Correction of the nipple-areola complex

If we are talking about type I tubular breasts, plastic surgery can be performed separately. If a full-fledged surgical intervention is required, the correction of the nipples and the areola zone is the final stage of the correction.

The plastic surgeon carefully excises the edges of the areola. Diameter – no more than four centimeters. After that, its edges are hemmed to the skin of the breast.

Thus, plastic surgery consists of the following stages:

• Providing general anesthesia.
• Disinfection of the area of ​​surgical intervention.
• Two incisions in the areola.
• The beginning of the formation of the endoprosthesis bed.
• Preparatory stage for implant placement.
• Installation of a drainage tube and endoprosthesis.
• Formation of a complex of nipples and areola.

For 24 hours after the surgery, the patient stays in the hospital of the clinic of Andrey Leonidovich Kharkov. Subsequent rehabilitation continues at home.
