Correction of abnormal-appearing breasts

Rare conditions cause the breasts to either not develop at all [Poland’s Syndrome] or to develop in an abnormal shape or proportion. Some women have large differences between their right and left sides, tubular breasts, or small droopy nodules (called “snoopy” breasts after the cartoon character). Many of these women have lived with these anomalies without realising that they can be corrected.

Tubular breasts: The breast base is narrow and the organ is more tube-shaped in this condition. Such breasts lack width and fullness, and they droop prematurely. The treatment aims to broaden the base, implant more dome-shaped volume, and relocate the nipple complex to a more natural location.

Tuberous (Snoopy) breasts: A more advanced form of tubular breasts in which the breast mound has entered the areola complex and appears to hang from a narrow stalk like a tuber. The goal of treatment is to return the breast tissue mass to the chest wall, open it up from the back like the petals of a closed flower bud, and correct the droop; an implant may also be required. More than one stage of correction may be required.

Asymmetrical Breasts: Minor asymmetry in the breasts is very common and does not require treatment. When there is a significant disparity, the smaller breast is enlarged with an implant, fat grafting, or both, while the larger one is reduced. It’s heartening to see how much of an emotional boost such a simple procedure can provide for the patient.

Breast absence at birth: Poland syndrome is characterised by the absence of one breast and the associated chest muscle. Depending on the circumstances, such cases necessitate careful planning. Combining reconstructive [muscle flaps] and aesthetic [implant/fat graft] techniques is often a good solution.

Accessory Breasts: It is often amusing to tell a woman with an axillary bulge that she has an extra breast or two. However, human beings are capable of developing breasts anywhere along the’milk-line,’ which runs from the underarm to the groin. A man or a woman may have extra breast tissue, a nipple, or both anywhere along this line as a developmental anomaly. It usually grows during pregnancy, and this is when it becomes noticeable. The treatment is simple, and they can be removed with little to no scarring. When such abnormally placed breast tissues are left alone, they are at the same or higher risk of malignancy as normal breasts.

What is breast reduction?

Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is more than just a cosmetic procedure for women who have overly large breasts that cause shoulder, back, and neck pain, or who are unhappy or self-conscious about their large breasts. Large breasts frequently appear droopy, which may lead to decreased confidence as a result of poor physical appearance.

Each of these conditions can be treated with mammoplasty using the most appropriate technique in each case.

The surgery has the dual benefit of improving a patient’s appearance as well as relieving the physical and emotional burden of having excessively large breasts.

What is breast augmentation?

Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that involves the use of artificial implants or fat grafting to increase the size of the breasts. It is a surgical procedure used to create a more rounded, firmer, and larger breast. It restores a woman’s figure to a healthy balance.

Breast volume is most commonly increased by inserting soft silicone implants surrounded by membranes via various methods. Many women also prefer fat grafting for breast volume enhancement, a procedure in which fat is suctioned out of different areas of your body where fat may be undesirable and then injected into the breasts.
