Conical polyurethane implants effectively correct tuberous breast deformity, achieving high patient satisfaction and low complication rates. This study supports their use in a standardized reconstructive protocol for tuberous breasts.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Tuberous breast deformity is a complex congenital condition requiring surgical correction.
  • Limited clinical evidence exists for conical polyurethane implants in tuberous breast reconstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction using conical polyurethane implants for tuberous breast deformity.
  • To assess the efficacy of a standardized, implant-assisted reconstructive protocol.

Main Methods:

  • An ambispective study of 50 patients with tuberous breast deformity.
  • Standardized protocol: glandular ring release, inframammary fold repositioning, and conical polyurethane implant placement.
  • Outcomes measured: complications, reoperations, and BREAST-Q scores; mean follow-up of 17 months.

Main Results:

  • High patient satisfaction reported via BREAST-Q scores (mean ~91%).
  • Low overall complication rate (10%) and reoperation rate (8%).
  • Successful correction across Grolleau classifications (I, II, III).

Conclusions:

  • Conical polyurethane implants, within a standardized protocol, yield high patient satisfaction for tuberous breast deformity.
  • Acceptable complication and reoperation rates observed in early-to-mid-term follow-up.
  • Feasible approach for selected cases, warranting further comparative studies.
