What is Tuberous Breast Deformity?
Tuberous breast deformity, also known as tubular breast deformity or constricted breast, is a congenital condition where the breasts develop abnormally, resulting in a particular shape and appearance. It is characterized by several distinctive features, which may vary in severity from person to person. These features include:

- Tight or Constricted Lower Pole: The lower portion of the breast, known as the lower pole, appears tight or constricted. This can result in a higher crease under the breast and a more elongated shape.
- Enlarged Areolas: The areolas, the pigmented areas surrounding the nipples, may appear larger and more puffy in comparison to the breast size. This is due to the breast tissue herniating through the loser areolar tissue. The tight internal bands do not allow for the breast mound to form naturally.
- Hypoplasia or Deficient Breast Tissue: Tuberous breasts often have inadequate breast tissue development, resulting in smaller breasts or breasts that do not fully develop.
- High Breast Fold: The inframammary fold, which is the natural crease beneath the breast, may be positioned higher than normal, giving the appearance of a drooping or sagging breast.
