What is a tuberous breast? A tuberous breast is a congenital alteration of the breast, related to a family history, a genetic predisposition. This alteration in development causes the breast to have a smaller base and a slightly wider areola, giving the impression that the entire breast is being herniated through this areola. Furthermore, it is often associated with small breasts, a mammary hypoplasia. The treatment will vary according to the shape and volume of the breast. So fat grafting can be done, implant placement, but the most common is to combine fat filling with breast implant placement, that is, a mammary implant. In addition, as the areola is enlarged, it is possible to reduce the size of the areola and all access to place the implant can be done through this areola, that is, resulting in a scar on the areola, or periareolar.
