Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Congenital Anomalies

Background:

Tuberous breast deformity is a complex congenital anomaly characterized by hypoplasia and constriction.
Severe cases pose significant challenges for aesthetic correction.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a modified surgical technique for single-stage aesthetic correction of tuberous breast deformity.
To evaluate the aesthetic outcomes and patient satisfaction with the modified technique.

Main Methods:

A modified technique based on Lejour's method, involving redistribution of breast tissue using superiorly based pedicles.
Tissue redistribution targets deficient lower medial and lateral quadrants.
Technique combined with breast implants or mastopexy as needed, with nipple repositioning and areolar reduction.

Main Results:

The modified technique demonstrated very good aesthetic results.
Improvements were noted in breast shape, volume, and symmetry.
High levels of patient satisfaction were reported.

Conclusions:

The described modified technique offers an effective solution for tuberous breast deformity.
This single-stage approach achieves favorable aesthetic outcomes and patient satisfaction.
The study contributes to the historical development of tuberous breast correction methods.
