Case 58: More Tuberous Breasts

Abstract

This 29-year-old patient with tuberous breasts requested larger breasts. Subglandular augmentation through a periareolar incision and PIP round, high-profile, smooth implants was suggested. The Group discussed inframammary incision, dividing the fibrous bands of the tuberous breasts, low-profile anatomical implants, excising part of the gland, and periareolar incision. Breast augmentation was performed using lower intra-areolar incisions and using 290 mL smooth, round, high-profile, titanium-coated, silicone gel implants in subglandular pockets. A small amount of breast tissue is excised from behind each areola, with diathermy and the breast tissue scored radially in four quadrants by direct vision.
