How to recognise this build
A narrow breast base, limited tissue in the lower part, and often an enlarged areola — that's the typical picture. The condition develops during puberty, so it's developmental rather than acquired.
What correction involves
Depending on the degree of the condition, the doctor may suggest widening the breast base, reducing the areola, and in some cases implants. The scope is set individually, after assessing the specific case.
An informed decision starts with a consultation
This article explains “Tubular Breasts — How Is Correction Done?”, but a procedure requires an individual qualification. The surgeon should discuss the goal of treatment, possible techniques, scars, recovery, risks and available alternatives.
Bring your questions to the consultation and disclose health conditions, medicines, smoking and previous procedures. This helps assess safety, the scope of treatment and realistic expectations.
