Correction of the shape and size of the female breast ranks first in the ratings of the most popular plastic surgeries. As a rule, we are talking about aesthetic intervention, when the patient would like to enlarge the breast or improve its shape, which has changed after childbirth or due to age-related processes. Tubular breast refers to such developmental anomalies, which, from the point of view of estet-portal.com, may be subject to correction for medical reasons if a woman experiences problems in her personal and intimate life due to this defect.
Causes of tubular breast formation and features of correction
Tubular breast is a special developmental anomaly associated with a defect in the formation of connective tissue at the base of the mammary glands. In this case, the connective tissue has an increased density and becomes something like a frame that does not allow the mammary gland to straighten into a normal hemisphere shape. At the same time, the mammary glands protrude into tubular tubules, often growing only in one direction.
Other signs of tubular breasts include:
• growth only towards the nipple;
• breast asymmetry;
• conical shape of the mammary glands;
• flattened nipple;
• areola stretched, protruding or underdeveloped;
• Hernias form and protrude in the areolar region.
Defects in the development of the right and left breasts may have different degrees of severity. Depending on the degree of deformation with tubular breasts, a woman can develop not only inferiority complexes, but problems in the intimate sphere. Therefore, the correction of this defect is designed to improve the quality of life of a woman.
Plastic surgery for the correction of tubular breasts should take into account the different degrees of severity of the defect.
• 1 type. The inner and lower parts of the mammary glands are slightly underdeveloped. The breast is slightly raised up, on the contrary, it is lowered from the nipple.
• 2 type. Underdevelopment of tissues in the lower lateral zone of the chest. The areola is enlarged, the nipple is flat.
• 3 type. Significant deficiency of glandular tissue. The breast is very small and elongated, the areola is stretched, the nipple is flat.
The third type of deformity in tubular breasts causes particularly severe discomfort in intimate life for patients. Therefore, surgical correction is designed not only to eliminate this cosmetic defect, but also to restore the patient's self-confidence.
Many patients with tubular breasts try to correct this defect with various drugs, homeopathy or physiotherapy.
The only effective method for correcting tubular breasts – Plastic surgery. It allows you to give the mammary glands a physiologically correct shape.
Reconstructive surgery for the correction of a tubular breast may require several interventions separated in time. If the volume of tissue is insufficient to cover the implant, an expander is placed under the skin of the breast first. It gradually fills with air and stretches the tissues to the desired size.
The surgeon chooses the method of the operation himself, based on his own experience and the condition of the patient, the volume of the planned intervention. Usually we are talking about access to the gland through an incision along the perimeter of the areola. The gland and connective tissue are dissected, an implant of the desired shape is installed, the inframammary fold is lowered. Further, the gland and connective tissue spread out on the implant and, like an umbrella, cover it. The areola is sutured, sutures are applied.
The patient should be prepared for the fact that the final result of plastic surgery can be assessed no earlier than six months later. Moreover, during this time, both edema and asymmetries can be observed, which gradually disappear.
Beautiful breasts are a combination of good shape, sufficient volume and proportionality
