Correction of Abnormal Looking Breasts

In this condition, the breast base is narrow and the breast is more tube-shaped. Such breasts may lack width and fullness, and they may also droop early. Treatment aims to broaden the base, introduce more dome-shaped volume using an implant, and reposition the nipple complex to a more appropriate location.

A more pronounced form of tubular breast deformity, where the breast mound extends into the areola complex and appears to hang from a narrow stalk. Treatment aims to reposition the breast tissue towards the chest wall, release the constricted tissue from behind, and address breast drooping. An implant may also be needed. Correction may require more than one stage.

Minor asymmetry is very common and does not need treatment. When there is a significant difference, the smaller breast may be enlarged using an implant or fat grafting, or both, while the larger one is reduced. Such procedures may help address differences in breast size and shape.

In a condition called Poland syndrome, one breast and associated chest muscle are missing. Such cases need careful planning, depending on individual problems. Treatment may involve combining reconstructive [muscle flaps] and aesthetic [implant/fat graft] techniques.

When we identify a bulge in a woman’s axilla, we may explain that it represents extra breast tissue. Human beings are capable of having breast tissue anywhere from the underarm to the groin along what is called the ‘milk-line’. As a developmental anomaly, a man or a woman may have extra breast tissue or a nipple, or both, anywhere along this line. It usually grows during pregnancy, and that is when it comes to notice. Treatment may involve surgical removal, depending on the location and extent of the tissue. Scarring may occur. Abnormally placed breast tissue can be subject to some of the same conditions that affect normally positioned breast tissue, including malignancy.
