Tuberous breast syndrome, a complex congenital defect, often suffers from inadequate terminology and varied treatments. A refined surgical technique combining mastopexy, mastoplasty, and gland enlargement offers satisfying aesthetic and functional outcomes.

Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Congenital Abnormalities

Background:

Tuberous breast syndrome presents with complex, variable defects.
Inconsistent terminology complicates management strategies in existing literature.
Current approaches often address primary defects, neglecting the entire syndrome.

Purpose of the Study:

To present an improved surgical technique for tuberous breast syndrome.
To address the aesthetic and functional deficits comprehensively.
To refine management by focusing on the complete syndrome rather than isolated defects.

Main Methods:

A surgical approach combining periareolar mastopexy, additive mastoplasty, and gland base enlargement via cross incision.
Improvement and combination of established surgical techniques.

Application to cases with varying degrees of severity, including unilateral complexities.

Main Results:

Achieved aesthetically pleasing and functionally sound results.
Successfully corrected breast shape and ptosis.
Reduced areola size and eliminated the double-fold effect.
Attained good symmetry, even in complex unilateral cases.

Conclusions:

The presented combined surgical technique effectively addresses tuberous breast syndrome.
This approach offers superior aesthetic and functional correction compared to methods focusing on single defects.
Standardized terminology and comprehensive surgical strategies are crucial for optimal patient outcomes.
