Tubular Breast Correction

Tubular or tuberous breast correction is used for breasts that are abnormally shaped with the areolas stretched, puffy or pointed down. This genetic condition can lead to a loss of confidence and a feeling of discomfort or shame. Dr. Gurley specializes in congenital breast deformities and will call on her extensive experience to normalize the breasts as much as possible. She and her medical colleagues agree that patients do not need to wait until they are 18 years of age or older to correct this condition. Some patients are ready mentally and physically before they turn 18.

Candidates

Who is a good candidate?

​Correcting tubular breasts is not a simple procedure. Dr. Gurley's Board Certification in Plastic Surgery has given her the surgical principals needed to treat this potentially complex condition. Your breasts will be altered, if needed, three dimensionally, taking into account the width, projection, and length of the breast and skin envelope. This is a great opportunity to also correct enlarged or asymmetrical areolas.

Following the surgery, you may need a day or two of rest, at which point most patients will return to their normal activities. We recommend that you refrain from running, jogging or any strenuous exercise for 4-6 weeks after the surgery.

You may want to consider this procedure if:
You have been diagnosed with tuberous breasts, breast asymmetry, or unusually shaped breasts.

Real Results

Real Artistic Outcomes

Dr. Gurley's years of experience means that she can work with you to determine the best course of action for your tubular breast condition. There are no two patients alike when it comes to tubular or congenital deformities, so it's critical to have experience to be able to tailor surgery for each patient. The outcome results in not only improved physical appearance but also an improvement in self-image, confidence, and well-being.
