Tuberous breasts: a periareolar approach

Liacyr Ribeiro et al. Aesthet Surg J. 2005 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

According to the authors, this periareolar approach for correcting the tubular breast is especially effective in preventing recurrence. Maneuvers include transecting the constrictive ring, filling the generally hypoplastic inferior quadrants, and redistributing the glandular tissue over the breast base, correcting the constriction that is transversely and/or vertically present. The procedure is easily performed and may also include implant placement.
