Tuberous Breast Correction Beverly Hills

Tuberous breasts are not a condition of simply having small or underdeveloped breasts, it is an actual deformity that occurs during the process of breast bud maturation. This deformity then results in a herniation of the nipple-areola complex due to a fibrous band of breast tissue. The effect this deformity can have on the appearance of the breast varies from individual to individual and can range from mild to severe. Some typical characteristics of a tuberous breast deformity include:

• * Enlarged and puffy areola
• * Unusually wide amount of space between the breasts
• * Limited amounts of breast tissue, especially in the lower poles
• * Sagging of the breast (ptosis), in its entirety or a specific portion
• * Breast fold that is higher than normal
• * Narrow breast base

This condition can bring about numerous nagging issues for a woman, a major one being that it can drastically affect the ability of a woman to breastfeed. There are some cases where the breasts and milk glands have not developed enough to even produce milk. Fortunately, there are not any other fertility or pregnancy issues that are affected by this condition.
