Tuberous Breast Surgery in Dubai

Women with tuberous breasts are often deeply self-conscious about the appearance of their breasts.

Dr. Nina Naidu, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon, offers specialized tuberous breast surgery to reconstruct breasts to a more natural shape and size. Patients from across the globe, including Dubai, travel to Dr. Naidu’s New York City practice for her expertise.

Tuberous breast deformity becomes apparent during puberty. While women typically develop rounded, proportionate breasts, some will experience the growth of small, asymmetrical breasts with enlarged areolae.

Dr. Naidu understands the multifaceted challenges associated with this condition. Her approach is grounded in clinical data, education, and meticulous surgical expertise, empowering women to make informed decisions regarding their bodies.

What is Tuberous Breast Deformity?

Tuberous breast deformity presents with:

  • Diminished or absent breast tissue below the nipple, resulting in a tubular shape.
  • Enlarged areolae with tissue herniation.
  • Elevated inframammary fold (the crease beneath the breast).
  • A high degree of breast asymmetry of both shape and size

This congenital condition varies in severity, with unique challenges based on anatomy, the extent of the deformity, and breast asymmetry. Each case requires a personalized approach to address the patient’s specific needs and goals.

Your First Consultation with Dr. Naidu

Dr. Naidu’s private consultations provide a non judgemental space to discuss the nature of tuberous breasts and their formation.

During your comprehensive consultation, Dr. Naidu will:

  • Review your medical history and overall health to ensure suitability for surgery;
  • Examine your breasts to evaluate deformity severity, skin quality, and breast size;
  • Discuss reconstructive options tailored to your anatomy and personal goals;
  • Explain the surgical process, including the length of surgery, incision locations, and recovery expectations;
  • Take pre-operative photographs for detailed surgical planning, which remain confidential as part of your medical record;

Dr. Naidu will ensure that all of your questions are answered and that you are fully informed about your choices.

Your Second Consultation

The second consultation is typically combined with the initial consultation for international patients. At this time, the surgical plan is finalized. This includes reviewing clinical photographs, addressing remaining questions, and completing pre-surgical paperwork. If implants are part of your procedure, sizing will be conducted at this visit, with recommendations based on your anatomy and desired outcome.

Dr. Naidu may advise discontinuing certain medications or smoking before surgery for optimal safety. Additional screening tests may be required, depending on your medical history, ensuring that every precaution is taken to enhance your safety and recovery.

Options for Tuberous Breast Surgery

Dr. Naidu customizes each surgical plan to address:

  • Reducing nipple-areolar complex size: By centering and resizing the areola, the breast achieves a more harmonious appearance. Most incisions are confined to the areolar area.
  • Releasing constricted breast tissue: Surgical release of tight tissue at the breast base allows for improved shape and a more natural contour.
  • Reshaping breast contour: Reshaping can be achieved through tissue release alone or combined with a breast lift, depending on individual requirements.
  • Enhancing breast size: Augmentation with round implants, or in select cases, fat grafting, enhances breast volume. Severe cases may require temporary tissue expanders before implant placement.

Tissue Expansion vs. Immediate Implant Placement

For advanced cases, Dr. Naidu may recommend a period of tissue expansion to stretch the skin before permanent implant placement. However, most patients are candidates for immediate implant placement, often using smooth round silicone gel implants. Fat grafting is an option for those with sufficient donor tissue, though it offers modest size increases and is best suited for specific cases.

The tissue expansion process involves a gradual stretching of the skin over several months, allowing for the accommodation of implants that provide a balanced and natural-looking result. This approach ensures that even the most challenging cases can achieve optimal outcomes.

Good Candidates for Tuberous Breast Surgery in Dubai

You may be a good candidate for tuberous breast reconstruction if you:

  • Desire more natural breast shape and symmetry.
  • Have realistic expectations for the procedure.
  • Are in good overall health.

Dr. Naidu will advise you based on your specific case, providing expert guidance to help you make an informed decision. Patients are encouraged to voice their concerns and expectations during consultations to ensure all aspects are addressed.

Recovery and Complications For Dubai Patients

Tuberous breast surgery is performed under general anesthesia, and patients return home or to their hotel the same day. Dr. Naidu provides detailed recovery instructions, including managing pain and caring for incisions. Initial recovery requires assistance with daily activities, and a personalized plan ensures a safe, efficient recovery process. Should you require assistance during your stay in New York City, private duty nursing can be arranged through the office.

The recovery period varies based on the extent of surgery but generally includes restrictions on heavy lifting and physical exertion. Dr. Naidu emphasizes the importance of following post-operative care instructions to minimize risks and promote healing. She remains accessible for follow-up visits to monitor progress and address any concerns.

Complications, though rare, include general risks associated with surgery and implants, including bleeding, excess scar formation, infection, capsular contracture, and implant rupture. Dr. Naidu’s pre- and post-operative guidance helps minimize these risks.

Tuberous Breast FAQs

What is tuberous breast deformity?

Tuberous or tubular breast deformity is a congenital condition in which the breast does not develop fully. Ideally, a breast has a round shape with tissue evenly distributed across the chest. In the tuberous deformity, breast tissue volume may be normal or deficient but is primarily concentrated beneath the nipple. The lower pole of the breast does not fully develop, leading to an elongated, narrow appearance.

How can I tell if I have tuberous breast deformity?

Tuberous breasts often have a distinctive shape, with a narrow base and an elongated or drooping appearance. The nipple-areolar complexes may be disproportionately large. Many patients identify their condition after conducting personal research and comparing their anatomy to online resources and photos of others with similar characteristics.

What type of anesthesia is used for tuberous breast surgery?

Tuberous breast surgery is performed under general anesthesia. This ensures the patient’s comfort and safety throughout the procedure by protecting the airway and preventing any sensation during surgery.

Can tuberous breast surgery and breast augmentation procedures be performed during the same surgery?

Yes, and in most cases, combining these procedures is essential. An implant is often required to correct the lower pole deficiency and achieve a more natural breast contour.

Can tuberous breast surgery with implants provide symmetrical results?

Many patients with tuberous breasts have some degree of asymmetry. While implants can significantly improve breast symmetry, it is important to note that achieving perfectly symmetrical breasts is unlikely. However, the overall appearance is greatly enhanced.

Can tuberous breasts be corrected without the use of implants?

In select cases of mild tuberous deformity, correction may be possible without implants. This involves lifting the breasts and using fat grafting to enhance the lower pole. The approach depends on the patient’s specific anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Will I have visible scars from Tuberous Breast Surgery?

Yes, all surgical procedures result in scarring. The scars will fade significantly over time, but they will not disappear entirely. Scarring varies between individuals and can be minimized through post-surgical care, including the use of topical scar treatments.

What is the recovery process?

The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis. After surgery, light dressings are applied, and patients can shower the same day or the following day. Mild to moderate discomfort is common in the first 48 hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure. Follow-up visits are scheduled 3-5 days after surgery to monitor healing.

Is it possible to breastfeed after tuberous breast surgery?

Many patients with tuberous breasts have difficulty breastfeeding due to underdeveloped glandular tissue and breast ducts. While surgery does not typically worsen this condition, it also does not guarantee an improvement in breastfeeding ability.

Should I wait until after pregnancy to have tuberous breast surgery?

If you are pregnant or planning to conceive soon, it is advisable to wait until at least six months after delivery and breastfeeding before undergoing surgery. For patients not actively planning pregnancy, there is no reason to delay the procedure.

How long after the surgery can I return to my regular exercise routine?

Patients can resume light activities, such as walking, the day after surgery. Strenuous activities and exercises should be avoided for at least two weeks to allow proper healing.
