Dr. DeLuca Tuberous Breast Before and After > Tuberous Breast With Asymmetry
This is a healthy 19 year old young woman who had no previous surgery. She is 5’3” and 120lbs. Her bra
size was a 34A with asymmetry. The breasts themselves were also tuberous in nature. The right had a
tight inferior pole with a protuberant nipple areola complex. The left was markedly deficient in tissue
with no lower pole at all. She had traveled to see me from another state and we discussed at length
the techniques needed to correct her tuberous condition. On both sides a dual plane augmentation
was necessary with release of the lower pole and a right periareolar mastopexy to diminish the
herniation in the nipple areola complex. She also would require differential augmentation because
of the significant asymmetry. Due to her age she was required to use saline implants. She decided to
proceed and underwent bilateral dual plane augmentation with a right periareolar mastopexy. On the
right side we used a 250cc moderate smooth saline prosthesis that was filled to 310cc. On the left we
used a 300cc moderate plus smooth saline prosthesis that was filled to 350cc. Her postoperative course
was unremarkable. Two months later she is completely healed. The breasts are symmetric, natural in
appearance and no longer have any signs of a tuberous deformity. Her personal self-esteem has been
greatly enhanced. She is wearing normal clothing for the first time.
