What is Tuberous Breast Repair with Implant?
Tuberous breast correction is a specialised procedure that reshapes constricted, tubular breasts into a natural, rounded form. The surgery releases the tight tissue at the base of the breast, expands the breast footprint, and typically uses an implant to add volume and symmetry — giving patients a result they may have wanted since adolescence.
How Does Tuberous Breast Repair with Implant Work?
- 1Video consultation with detailed breast assessment to classify the degree of tuberous deformity and plan the correction
- 2Under general anaesthesia, the constricted breast tissue at the base is scored and released to allow the breast to expand
- 3A cohesive silicone gel implant is placed (submuscular or dual-plane) to add volume and create a round breast mound
- 4If the areolae are herniated or enlarged, they are resized and repositioned to a natural diameter and height
- 5Incisions are closed, a surgical bra is applied, and you are monitored overnight in the hospital
Who is a Good Candidate for Tuberous Breast Repair with Implant?
- Women with a constricted breast base, resulting in a narrow, tubular, or 'pointed' breast shape
- Patients with enlarged or puffy areolae caused by herniation of breast tissue
- Those with significant asymmetry between the breasts in shape, size, or nipple position
- Individuals who have felt self-conscious about their breast appearance since puberty
- Non-smokers in good general health, typically 18 years or older
Why Choose Tuberous Breast Repair with Implant at MedProper?
Specialist Expertise
Tuberous breast correction requires highly specialised surgical skill. Our surgeons have extensive experience with all grades of tuberous deformity.
Comprehensive Correction
The procedure addresses every aspect of the deformity — constricted base, herniated areola, volume deficit, and asymmetry — in a single surgery.
Natural-Looking Result
By releasing the constricted tissue and using an implant, the breast is reshaped into a natural, round form that is indistinguishable from a non-tuberous breast.
All-Inclusive Package
The €5,720 package covers the surgery, implants, hospital stay, hotel, transfers, surgical bra, medications, and 12-month aftercare.
What is the Recovery Timeline?
Day 1
Surgery & Hospital
The procedure takes 2-3 hours. You spend one night in the hospital with a surgical support bra and close monitoring.
Day 2-5
Hotel Recovery
Moderate swelling and bruising are normal, especially around the areola if it was resized. Rest and follow medication instructions.
Day 7-10
Follow-Up Appointment
The surgeon checks healing, removes external sutures, and assesses early symmetry. Most patients fly home after this visit.
Week 2-6
Tissue Expansion & Settling
The released tissue gradually stretches and the implant settles. Desk work can resume after 2 weeks. Avoid heavy lifting for 6 weeks.
Month 3-6
Final Result
Swelling resolves, the breast mound rounds out fully, and scars begin to fade. The final natural shape becomes established.

Frequently Asked Questions
Tuberous breast deformity is a congenital condition where a tight band of tissue at the base of the breast prevents it from developing fully during puberty. This results in a narrow, elongated shape with a high inframammary fold and, often, enlarged areolae.
In mild cases, tissue release and fat grafting alone may be sufficient. However, most patients benefit from an implant to provide the volume needed for a round, natural shape. Your surgeon will recommend the best approach during consultation.
Yes. If the areolae are herniated or enlarged, they are resized to a natural diameter and repositioned. The scars around the areola fade significantly and blend with the natural colour transition of the areola border.
Tuberous breast correction is a specialised procedure, but it is well-established in plastic surgery. Our surgeons have treated all grades of tuberous deformity and will show you before-and-after examples from similar cases.
The all-inclusive package covers the surgeon's fee, premium silicone implants, anaesthesia, hospital stay, surgical bra, all medications, 5-star hotel accommodation, VIP airport transfers, and 12 months of remote aftercare.
