Tubular breast

Tubular (also known as tuberous) breast is a condition of abnormal breast development characterised by puffy nipples, large areola (much greater than expected for the the size of the breasts), lack of a full round breast mound due to a tight skin envelope. Each woman may exhibit some of these changes to varying degrees. Often asymmetry (difference between size and shape of breasts) is also experienced.

Most women have a slight different between left and right breasts. This is natural and to be expected! The old adage: “sisters not twins” speaks truth here.

Women with tubular breasts may feel self conscious as they feel they look different. Many seek augmentation to correct this, but augmentation alone may not give them the optimal outcome.

Tubular breast correction procedures aim to address these issues and improve the appearance, size and symmetry. In doing so many patients achieve a more balanced silhouette and greater confidence.

About Tubular breast

About

Tubular breast correction is performed under general anaesthesia. During surgery the features identified are addressed using different techniques including breast implants, and fat grafting. Large and puffy nipples are corrected. Ptosis (droop) may be corrected also.

Sometimes a staged surgical approach is necessary.

Recovery

Many tubular breast surgery patients chose to stay in hospital overnight. You may wish to allow 1-2 weeks to recover following surgery depending on your occupation. Mr Molajo recommends wearing a surgical bra for 6 weeks. Additionally, he also requests that you avoid heavy lifting and activities that cause bouncing for 6 weeks.

1 week: wound check and review

6 weeks: You should be able to return to most of your normal activities. Your scars will start to fade.

After a few months: Your breasts will continue to soften and feel more natural. Your scars will continue to improve over the next 12-18 months.

Is tubular breast correction surgery right for me?

Risks

Tubular breast surgery usually produces high satisfaction but certain risks need consideration.
They include risks common to all surgery - infection, bleeding and unpredictable scarring. Nipple related issues including sensation changes, inability to breast feed and loss of blood supply to the nipple leading to nipple loss (very rare).
In most cases the size achieved is close to what the patient wishes, but it is not possible to guarantee final cup size.

My entire experience with Mr Molajo was amazing; from my initial consultation right the way through to my final appointment post-op, he was kind, knowledgeable, understanding and professional. No question or reassurance was ever too much. It is currently 7 weeks since my breast augmentation and I could not be happier with my results! I have minimal scarring and I already feel so much better about myself and how I look. If you’re looking for a top surgeon who you can feel at ease with, whilst getting the results you want, Mr Molajo is the one.

I truly couldn’t recommend or thank Mr Molajo enough. The excellent care you have provided throughout my whole process from start to finish has been exceptional, I haven’t met a more down to earth, caring and professional surgeon before. I also can’t thank Mr Molajo enough for how much of a amazing job he’s done, I’ve never felt happier and it’s only been a week since my operation. I’m very grateful.

After having found mr molajo last year I finally took the plunge last month and had my surgery! (Old implants removed, capsulectomy, new implants and a lift!) I have to say the care throughout and the final result is more than I could have ever wished for! He is not only a highly skilled and talented surgeon but one of the loveliest men you can meet, instantly making you feel at ease. I’m 6 weeks post op now and the whole experience has been fantastic - minimal pain, zero bruising and an amazing end result!

Mr Malajo was very approachable and explained the procedure in a straightforward way. No pressure was applied on me to proceed with the surgery. The surgery itself was a complete success (only minimal discomfort afterwards) and my recovery was complete in 5 weeks. My only regret is waiting until I was 71 before having the surgery.

My experience was amazing, I felt comfortable and reassured the whole way through. I was unsure on the size I wanted and with the help from Dr Molajo I was able to find a size perfect for me. On the day of surgery I was greeted by Dr Molajo, and talked through the procedure again. I am 100% happy with the results.

If your looking to have breast augmentation around the Manchester area then he’s your man! I had a couple of consultations one was at Transform but didn’t feel very confident. After surgery I felt great , boobs look great and still have a long way to go yet so I’m super excited.

I had been wanting breast surgery for a few years and had had a couple of consultations with different surgeons but it never felt right. I decided to have another consultation and straight away I felt at ease with Mr Molajo and knew within minutes that I wanted him to do the surgery. He was clear, concise and didn’t put me under any pressure whilst outlining his thoughts. He has such a calm relaxing manner that I wasn’t even nervous about the surgery. The results are better than I could have hoped for, I was up and about within days with barely any pain and the scars are so much smaller and neater than I imagined. I would definitely recommend Mr Molajo.

Mr Molajo worked wonders with my breasts. Having had 3 children, I was unhappy with my deflated breasts. I had seen two different surgeons prior to Mr Molajo, who were very unpleasant and spoke about my body as though I wasn’t there. I thought I would have one last consultation with another surgeon, and I am glad I did. Mr Molajo is down to earth and made me feel completely at ease and much better. Post surgery I was thrilled that I didn’t require a full anchor scar! My incisions are neat and are healing great. I am over the moon with my new breasts and would highly recommend!
