Treatment for tuberous breasts

Women’s breasts come in many different shapes and sizes. However, women who have smaller breasts that have a certain deformity may be self-conscious about the appearance of their chest. Certain deformities, such as Tuberous Breast Deformity (TBD), is a congenital condition that can cause the breast tissues to develop in a way that is not traditional. This abnormality is not just referenced by small breast size. Tuberous breasts are actually different in structure than a normally developed breast. Some common characteristics of tuberous breasts include:

• Breasts that have enlarged or “puffy” areolas
• Wide spacing between the breasts
• Minimal amounts of breast tissue present
• Narrow base against the chest wall
• Positioning higher than the standard breast fold
• Breast tissue herniating into the nipple
• Inability to breastfeed due to underdeveloped milk glands

In addition, many women who deal with TBD may also feel self-conscious about their appearance to the point that it may impact their personal, romantic relationships.
