Correction of Tubular Breasts Before & After Case 973

This 31 year old patient was referred to Dr. Parker by her mother, also a patient of Dr. Parker. She was concerned by the persistently small size of her breasts. Currently, she is a 34A cup and would like to be a full C cup.  Dr. Parker explained that she has what are known as “tuberous breasts”, that is constricted by fibrous bands which cause the breast tissue and areola to herniate forward with a high, tight inframammary fold. He discussed, then subsequently performed surgery whereby he reduced the size of the areola, released the constricting bands to lower the inframammary fold and inserted a breast implant into a dual plane location to provide better shape to the breast. Implant size and type was decided during a pre operative Sizing Session; the patient decided she wanted saline implants which is what her mother has and loves. Due to the pre existing asymmetry of her breasts, Dr. Parker inserted a 425 cc implant into the left(larger) breast and 450 cc into the right breast. The patient recovered quickly following her procedure and had very little pain. She loves the natural appearance of her breasts and feels much more self-confident.
