Tubular Breasts: How Breast Implants Can Create Natural, Feminine Contours

Tubular breasts are typically classified into four types based on the severity and characteristics of the deformity

Type I: Minor constriction with a narrow base and enlarged areola.

Type II: Moderate constriction affecting both lower quadrants of the breast.

Type III: Severe constriction with minimal breast base and significant areolar herniation.

Type IV: Extreme constriction with minimal breast tissue and severe deformity.

Understanding the classification helps in planning the appropriate surgical approach for correction.

The psychological impact of tubular breasts can be profound. Studies have shown that individuals with this condition often experience lower self-esteem and body image dissatisfaction. The asymmetry and unusual shape can lead to embarrassment, affecting social interactions and intimate relationships. Addressing these concerns through surgical correction can significantly improve mental well-being and quality of life.
