Correct proportion and restore natural breast shape with tubular breast correction in Bethesda at Potomac Aesthetic Surgery. Dr. Kasandra Dassoulas specializes in addressing constricted breast tissue, asymmetry, and contour irregularities to create balanced results.
Restore Harmony to Breast Shape and Size
Tubular breasts are a congenital breast shape anomaly where the breasts develop with a narrow base, high inframammary fold, enlarged or puffy areolas, and an elongated appearance. This can affect one or both breasts, often creating noticeable asymmetry. Tubular breast correction is a procedure that can help release constricted tissue, reshape the breast mound, and reposition or resize the areola for a more proportionate look. Dr. Dassoulas uses advanced techniques to restore natural contours and enhance overall breast aesthetics.
Tubular Breast Correction Treats:
- Constricted or underdeveloped breast base
- Enlarged, puffy, or protruding areolas
- Elongated, tube-like breast shape
- High or tight inframammary fold position
- Significant asymmetry between breasts
- Flattened or misshapen lower breast pole
Combine Your Tubular Breast Correction With Implants / Fat Grafting
A tubular breast correction in Bethesda addresses the structural issues that cause constricted, elongated breasts, such as releasing tight tissue, reshaping the breast mound, and refining the areola. While these steps improve breast contour and symmetry, they may not always create the desired fullness or projection, especially if there is limited natural breast tissue.
To enhance volume and create a more rounded, proportionate silhouette, your correction can be combined with implants or fat grafting. Implants provide immediate, customizable fullness, while fat grafting uses your purified fat for a softer, natural feel. Dr. Dassoulas tailors the approach to your goals to ensure shape and size are addressed for balanced, aesthetically pleasing results. This can correct both congenital shape concerns while achieving your ideal breast volume.
Benefits of Tubular Breast Correction:
- Restores a fuller, rounder breast shape
- Improves breast symmetry and proportion
- Reduces and reshapes enlarged or puffy areolas
- Lowers and redefines the inframammary fold
- Allows correction of congenital breast deformities
- Can be combined with implants or fat grafting for added volume
Your Tubular Breast Correction Surgery
On the day of the procedure, you will be under general anesthesia in an accredited surgical facility. Dr. Dassoulas typically begins with a periareolar incision, placed along the natural border of the areola, to access the breast tissue. Using precise dissection, she releases the constricted fibrous bands that cause the narrow base and tight lower pole. This release allows the breast tissue to spread over a wider area, creating a rounder, more natural base.
If your areolas are enlarged or bulging due to herniated tissue, Dr. Dassoulas reduces and reshapes them while preserving nipple sensation. The procedure may involve internal breast reshaping, which helps redistribute your glandular tissue to improve lower pole fullness. When additional volume is desired, an implant can be inserted into a subfascial or submuscular pocket, or purified fat can be injected to add subtle, natural contour.
Once the desired breast proportions are achieved, the incisions are carefully closed with layered suturing to minimize tension and optimize healing. Next, sterile dressings and a surgical bra are applied to support your new shape. Dr. Dassoulas offers detailed aftercare instructions to help ensure a smooth recovery and long-lasting results.
Recovery After Tubular Breast Correction
In the first few days after surgery, you can expect swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. You must wear a supportive surgical bra to maintain your new breast shape and minimize swelling. Most patients return to light activities within a week, but strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks.
Dr. Dassoulas provides detailed aftercare instructions, including incision care and follow-up visits to monitor healing. Post-operative scar treatments, such as laser scar therapy, are also available for all appropriate candidates to improve scar appearance. The initial changes are visible after surgery, but swelling will gradually subside over several weeks. The final results become apparent within 3 to 6 months once the breast tissue settles into its new shape.
