Correction of Tubular Breasts in Buffalo, NY

Having slightly asymmetrical or shapeless breasts is common and often goes unnoticed. However, for women with tubular breasts, the imperfections may be more bothersome and prominent. Tubular breast deformity causes one or both breasts to be misshapen in several ways, which tends to lead to damaged self-esteem and other emotional consequences. Fortunately, Dr. Todd B. Koch offers corrective surgery to improve the appearance of tubular breasts and restore his patients’ confidence.

Surgical Correction

Correction of tubular breasts is a surgical procedure that involves altering the lower pole breast tissue to allow it to expand. An incision is created in the breast crease if the areolas do not need any alteration. If the areolas are bulging or herniated, a circumferential incision is placed around the areolas. Additionally, breast volume can be balanced with breast implants, and the breast fold is also lowered.

Recovery

Immediately After

Immediately After

Your recovery after tubular breast correction will be slightly longer than recovery from breast augmentation. It is normal to experience some bruising and swelling, but wearing the recommended support bra during the first several weeks of recovery should help alleviate these side effects. Most patients can return to work within 7 to 14 days after their tubular breast correction.

2 to 3 Weeks After

2 to 3 Weeks After

Patients can typically resume light activity during this time. You are likely to have some residual swelling that should resolve within the next few weeks.

6 Weeks After

6 Weeks After

By this point in the recovery process, patients can resume all daily activities and exercises. Most of the swelling will dissipate by 6 weeks, and the breasts will continue to improve over time.
