This study details a surgical technique for correcting tuberous breast deformity using a periareolar approach. The one-stage procedure avoids implants, creating only a periareolar scar for improved breast aesthetics.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Aesthetic Surgery

Background:

  • Tuberous breast deformity is a congenital condition affecting breast shape.
  • Previous surgical corrections often involved multiple stages and implants.
  • A historical overview of tuberous breast pathology is presented.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a refined, one-stage surgical procedure for correcting tuberous breast deformity.
  • To present a method that minimizes scarring and avoids alloplastic materials.
  • To highlight the efficacy of a long-standing technique with a periareolar approach.

Main Methods:

  • A periareolar incision is utilized.
  • The breast tissue is divided into two portions to release the constricting ring.

  • An inferiorly based flap or pedicle is created, a technique used since 1969.
  • The procedure is designed as a single-stage operation.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful correction of tuberous breast deformity in a single operation.
    • Achieves a purely periareolar scar.
    • Eliminates the need for implants, mesh, or tissue expanders.
    • Addresses patient preference for smaller breast size, while allowing for future augmentation if desired.

    Conclusions:

    • The described periareolar approach offers an effective one-stage solution for tuberous breast deformity.
    • This technique achieves excellent aesthetic outcomes with minimal scarring and no need for alloplastic materials.
    • The procedure is adaptable and respects patient aesthetic preferences regarding breast size.
