We want all patients to know that tuberous breasts are normal breasts and also very common, if you do not want a procedure there are no pressings reasons to have surgery apart from your own desires.
Tuberous breasts, also known as tubular breasts, are an anomaly that can affect both men and women, occurring in one or both breasts. The condition arises during puberty when normal breast development is hindered, leading to incomplete and abnormal growth.
It’s crucial to distinguish tuberous breasts from simply small breasts, as tuberous breasts often exhibit constricted tissue that requires surgical correction. Seeking the expertise of a surgeon experienced in tuberous breast correction is essential for optimal results.
At our clinic, our surgeons specialise in addressing tuberous breasts through a tailored approach, typically involving breast augmentation. For more detailed information, please refer to our breast augmentation page. Rest assured, our team is dedicated to providing effective solutions for individuals dealing with tuberous breast concerns.
Many women are unaware they have tuberous breasts. Some women may have noticed that their breast shape is irregular, but are unaware of the underlying condition and how or why this has occurred.

Tuberous breast correction surgery is a specialised form of plastic surgery designed to address tuberous breast shape. This procedure encompasses a diverse range of techniques aimed at reconstructing the breasts, customising their shape, and adjusting size according to the patient’s body frame and preferences. In certain cases, the corrective process may involve two separate surgeries.
Given the varied features associated with tuberous breasts, Dr. Wessels typically employs a combination of reconstructive techniques. During the initial surgery, constrictive bands are often released. Subsequently, a second surgery may be performed to augment the breasts.
The comprehensive approach may include various procedures such as fat grafting, the use of skin expanders, breast implants (augmentation mammoplasty), nipple reconstruction, and mastopexy. The selection of specific techniques depends on the natural shape of the breasts and the desired appearance, ensuring a personalised and effective correction of tuberous breast deformity.
Tuberous breast surgery can fall under any of the following procedures.
