Tubular breast deformity, also known as tuberous breast deformity, is a congenital condition that can affect breast shape, size, and symmetry. Many women with tubular breasts experience narrow breast bases, enlarged areolas, and underdeveloped lower breast tissue, which may lead to self-consciousness and difficulty achieving desired breast aesthetics. Dr. Eric Halvorson, a board-certified plastic surgeon, specializes in tuberous breast correction in Asheville, offering personalized surgical solutions for balanced, natural-looking breasts.
What Is Tubular Breast Deformity?
Tubular breast deformity occurs when breast tissue fails to develop properly during puberty, leading to a constricted breast shape. This condition may affect one or both breasts and is classified by severity:
Mild Tubular Breast Deformity
Slightly constricted breast base with minor asymmetry
Moderate Tubular Breast Deformity
Narrow breast base, enlarged areola, and mild breast drooping
Severe Tubular Breast Deformity
Significant underdevelopment, asymmetry, and lack of lower breast tissue
