San Francisco Tuberous Breast Correction & Breast Asymmetry Correction
Each woman’s breasts possess their inherent uniqueness, characterized by subtle variations in size, shape, or positioning—a completely natural occurrence. However, if you feel dissatisfied with the current shape of your breasts or find significant disparities in size or form causing concern, rest assured that there are procedures available to assist you in achieving your desired breast aesthetic.
Tuberous breasts, also known as tubular breasts, are a congenital condition where the breasts don’t develop normally and appear tube-like or constricted. The condition might be associated with a narrow base, large and puffy areolas, or a higher-than-normal breast fold. Breast asymmetry, a difference in position, volume, or form of the breasts, may be present since birth but can also develop later in life due to factors like injury, hormonal changes, or previous surgeries.

What is Tuberous Breast Correction?
Tuberous breast correction is a specialized operation that addresses the unique characteristics of tuberous or tubular breasts. These characteristics may include a narrow base, enlarged and puffy areolas, and a tubular shape. Dr. Xu employs advanced surgical techniques to:
- Expand the constricted base, creating a more natural breast footprint.
- Reduce and reposition the areolas to ensure they’re centered and proportional.
- Add volume to the breasts using implants or fat grafting, if required.
- Improve skin distribution across the breast to eliminate any wrinkling or puckering.
- Enhance the overall contour, ensuring the breasts appear soft and natural.
The result is a more rounded, symmetrical, and aesthetically pleasing breast shape, which can greatly improve a woman’s confidence and self-esteem.
What is Breast Asymmetry Correction?
Breast asymmetry correction is a bespoke procedure tailored to the individual needs of the patient. Breasts can vary in size, shape, position, and volume. Depending on the cause and extent of the asymmetry, Dr. Xu might employ a combination of techniques to ensure the breasts match harmoniously. These techniques may include:
- Breast Augmentation: Using implants or fat transfer to increase the size of the smaller breast.
- Breast Lift: Raising and firming the breasts, which can be particularly useful if one breast sags more than the other.
- Breast Reduction: Removing tissue from the larger breast to achieve size harmony.
- Nipple and Areola Correction: Adjusting the size, shape, or position of the nipple and areola for a more balanced appearance.
- Tissue Redistribution: Shifting breast tissue to fill in areas that might be lacking, ensuring a smoother contour.
Who is an Ideal Candidate for Tuberous Breast or Breast Asymmetry Correction?
Women seeking correction for tuberous breasts or pronounced breast asymmetry are ideal candidates. However, it’s crucial to be in good general health, have realistic expectations, and understand the potential risks and benefits of the procedure.
Women with certain medical conditions, such as active infections, skin diseases, a history of breast cancer, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, should discuss these factors in detail with Dr. Xu during the consultation.

FAQs
San Francisco Tuberous Breast Correction & Breast Asymmetry Correction
breast volume, a higher inframammary fold, possible sagging, asymmetry, and may present challenges with breastfeeding. If you notice these characteristics and are concerned about your breast appearance, consult a qualified plastic surgeon for a definitive diagnosis and to discuss potential treatment options.
The results of these surgeries are long-lasting. However, it’s essential to keep in mind that factors such as aging, weight fluctuations, and pregnancy can impact breast appearance over time. Maintenance and follow-up consultations with Dr. Xu may be necessary.
Recovery time after tuberous breast surgery typically takes around 10 days to two weeks, with bruising, swelling, and soreness, especially at donor sites. Most patients can resume normal activities within two to three weeks, although residual swelling may persist for several months.
Tuberous breast deformity is often categorized into three stages based on the severity of the condition. These stages help classify the extent of tuberous breast deformity and guide treatment approaches:
Mild (Stage I): In this stage, the deformity is relatively subtle. The breast may have a slightly constricted base, a mild asymmetry, and puffy areolas. Breast development is somewhat restricted, but the appearance is closer to the typical breast shape.
Moderate (Stage II): Stage II tuberous breasts exhibit more pronounced deformities. The base of the breast is narrower, and the breasts may appear more conical or elongated. Areolar enlargement is often more noticeable, and there may be greater breast volume asymmetry. Surgical correction is frequently recommended for Stage II deformities.
Severe (Stage III): Stage III tuberous breasts represent the most severe form of the deformity. The breast base is significantly constricted, and the breasts appear markedly tubular or cylindrical in shape. Areolas are typically larger and puffier, and breast volume may be severely limited. Correcting Stage III deformities often requires more extensive surgical procedures.
