What are tuberous breasts?
The tuberous breast It is a very specific breast deformity in which atypical breast development has occurred in which we have an inframammary fold that is very retracted downwards and upwards and a breast that has grown forward.
They are normally corrected through breast augmentation surgery with a prosthesis and sometimes it is necessary to do a small pexy, a small lift to take a little bit of skin.
Who is the ideal patient for tuberous breast surgery?
The tuberous breast patient is a special patient because unlike other patients it is not about increasing a small breast that is there as a breast, a normal breast, but rather has a true deformity and considering this we have managed to truly correct a deformity. , a disease is a group of patients who are very very happy.
Are implants used in this operation?
Tuberous breast surgery generally consists of introducing a breast prosthesis to give volume, shape and content to the lower pole, which is what the tuberous breast does not have. On specific occasions it is also necessary to resect skin and perform a pexy, but generally a well-placed breast prosthesis is sufficient.
What is the intervention like? What anesthesia is used?
Tuberous breast surgery is very similar, if not identical, to a regular breast augmentation. It is usually a surgery of more than two hours or so. It can be done on an outpatient basis with sedation. Hospital admission is not necessary, patients go home the same day of the intervention.
What is the postoperative period like?
The postoperative period of tuberous breast surgery is very similar or identical to that of a normal breast augmentation. What does it depend on? It depends a little on what position the prosthesis has been placed in. It is not the same to put a prosthesis in a position behind the muscle or in front of the muscle. If the prosthesis is placed in front of the muscle, recovery is very bearable and a little painful, and after a few days the patients are leading a normal life. If, on the other hand, we place the prosthesis behind the muscle, you may be a little more sore and the recovery may be a little longer, but you don't have to be afraid of it either. We have good painkillers and we don't have to be afraid of pain nowadays.
