What Is Tubular Breast Surgery?
Tubular breasts are caused by a condition affecting the mammary glands. The condition can appear in one or both breasts, and can range in severity.

The only way to correct this condition is via tubular breast surgery.

However, many people also embrace their natural breast development – everyone’s body is different. If you’re considering tubular breast surgery, you should explore all of your options.
What Procedures Does Tubular Breast Surgery Involve?
There are many possible procedures involved in tubular breast surgery – it depends on the patients specific breasts and the look they want to achieve. It’s common that each breast will need different procedures. Tubular breast surgery will be catered to you. One of our highly skilled surgeons will recommend a treatment plan when you come for a consultation.
Our expert surgeons will work on reducing the size of the areolas, and increase the fullness and size of the breasts. In some cases, tubular breast surgery may also involve a nipple lift, reduction, or mastopexy to correct the breast’s shape and achieve your ideal look.
Here are the usual procedures that tubular breast surgery may involve:
Breast Enlargement (Augmentation)
People with tubular breasts often struggle with the lack of breast tissue. Tubular breast surgery can correct the lack of breast tissue, meaning that your breasts look fuller and more voluminous. A breast augmentation procedure involves implants, which create your desired breast shape.
Breast Uplift (Mastopexy)
A breast lift procedure (or mastopexy) can help your breasts look more upright. Many people who suffer with tubular breasts want to achieve a more youthful looking breast shape. Mastopexy involves removing excess skin and tightening the breast tissue, alongside other procedures.
Nipple Lift/Reduction
Sometimes, the condition that causes tubular breasts can also make your nipples enlarged or far apart. However, tubular breast surgery will often involve a nipple lift and reduction in order to fix this. These procedures usually take about half an hour, and makes your breasts look more youthful and less saggy. These procedures will transform your nipples, making them smaller, higher and at a better width. This procedure can make your breasts look a lot more even.
Sometimes, the full procedure will combine these surgeries in order to create the perfect tubular breast surgery plan for you.
