Surgical correction of the tubular breast
Tubular breasts are a congenital developmental variation in which the shape and proportions of the breast differ from typical anatomy.
Beyond the aesthetic aspect, this condition can also be emotionally distressing—many women feel limited in everyday life, experience insecurity when wearing certain clothing, or avoid situations where they feel exposed.
How do you recognize a tubular breast?
Typical features are
- Narrow, tubular breast base
- Noticeably large or bulging areola
- Less developed breast tissue in the lower area
- Asymmetrical shape or position
- Sagging breast despite young patient
It can be pronounced on one or both sides and to varying degrees.
What correction options are there?
The treatment depends on your anatomy and your wishes.
Frequent measures are:
- Reshaping and repositioning of the mammary gland for a more harmonious shape
- Expansion of the breast base to widen the narrow underbust
- Adjustment of the nipple for an inconspicuous, proportioned appearance
- If necessary, insertion of an implant to increase volume and improve shape
The aim is a naturally shaped, symmetrical breast with an inconspicuous nipple and a harmonious transition to the décolleté.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Do implants have to be used for every tubular breast?
Not mandatory – in the case of slightly pronounced shapes, shape correction can also be carried out without implants. If there is a lack of volume, implants or autologous fat may be useful.
Do scars remain visible?
The incision is usually made around the areola and, if necessary, perpendicular to the underbust crease. The scars usually heal very inconspicuously.
Is breastfeeding possible after the operation?
In many cases yes – it depends on the individual anatomy and the chosen technique.
Is the result permanent?
Yes – the shape remains stable. As with any breast, changes can occur again with significant weight fluctuations or pregnancies.
