This procedure creates a full, rounded shape, normal breast crease, and proportioned nipple for tuberous breasts (breasts that are narrow, elongated, sit high on the chest, and often have “puffy” nipples). When Dr. Parker performs tuberous breast correction surgery at his Paramus, New Jersey, practice for women from Ridgewood, Hackensack, Mahwah, Somerset, and other Bergen County and North New Jersey cities, he often includes a breast lift, with or without an implant.

Tuberous breasts, also called tubular breasts, are caused by a genetic abnormality that interferes with breast development during puberty. This condition can affect one or both breasts.
Breasts are composed of glandular tissue and fat (together called parenchyma) connected to the skin by suspensory ligaments. With tuberous breast deformity, a form of parenchymal maldistribution, the breast lacks fullness in the lower portion and does not develop into the typical rounded shape because it is constricted by:
Instead, the breasts end up high, narrow, and elongated.

Tuberous breast deformity involves various degrees of any of the following:
Patients with tuberous breasts can have mild to more severe parenchymal maldistribution (see illustration). The severity of the breast shape distortion will dictate the extent of correction needed.
Dr. Parker will typically use a periareolar incision (around the areola) to make one or more of the following corrections:
Tubular breast correction is a highly personalized procedure, so Dr. Parker will review his recommended surgical plan with you at your consultation.
We believe plastic surgery should be accessible to as many people as possible. That’s why we offer financing through lenders that specialize in setting up payment plans for elective cosmetic surgery. We can discuss financing during your consultation.
Learn More About Financing OptionsTuberous breast surgery is usually performed using general anesthetic administered by one of our board-certified anesthesiologists in our fully certified, private surgical center, Surgiplex, LLC. Depending on the extent and complexity of the procedure, the surgery takes 2 to 4 hours. You will be able to go home about 1 hour after surgery, wearing a soft, supportive bra.
Here at Parker Center in Paramus, NJ, the price of tuberous breast surgery with implants will depend on your anatomy, desired results, and the complexity of the procedure. At your consultation, we will provide an all-inclusive, individualized price quote that includes surgeon’s fees, operating room and anesthesia costs, pre- and post-op visits, surgical garments, breast implants (if applicable), and our Rapid Recovery Program.
Dr. Parker makes every effort to use limited incisions and minimize scarring while achieving an aesthetically pleasing breast shape. The amount of correction determines the extent of incisions Dr. Parker needs to make to the breast and nipple. In most cases, he performs tuberous breast surgery using a periareolar incision that encircles the areola.
We will show you before & after pictures of patients like you who have undergone tuberous breast surgery to help educate you about the possibilities. We are committed to patient education at Parker Center, having found it to be a major factor in giving our patients the best surgical experience possible.
Consultations at the Parker Center are special. Dr. Parker will spend extra time with you, ensuring that he understands your goals and that you are fully educated about each potential solution. Additionally, our imaging expert will help you see the possibilities with digital photo imaging to show you what you will look like after surgery. Patients who are comparing providers often tell us our consults are the most thorough and informative they’ve ever experienced!
One to two weeks before your scheduled tuberous breast surgery, you will undergo a one-hour, in-office, face-to-face education session with one of Dr. Parker’s Nurse Educators. During this session, the nurse educator thoroughly reviews a detailed information packet to further educate you about your surgery. This includes a discussion of what to do to prepare for surgery, what occurs on the day of surgery, and what to expect after surgery during your recovery. It’s a detailed session that really educates our patients about the entire surgical process at the Parker Center. Patients tell us they love it because they feel so well-prepared for their surgery. Learn more about what to expect during your pre-op education session.
Tuberous breast correction varies widely with the severity of the condition, so the recovery varies with the extensiveness of correction. Because the surgery is often more invasive than a typical breast lift, augmentation, or reduction, there may be more swelling and a longer recovery. In general, patients are ready to return to work or school within about a week.
Our Signature
Our surgical procedures, anesthesia, medications, and aftercare are tailored to minimize post-operative discomfort and accelerate recuperation.
Learn MoreThe Parker Center’s Rapid Recovery techniques used during and after tuberous breast correction surgery help you heal more rapidly and comfortably than what you might experience at another practice. This means less time off from work and a sooner return to your normal activities.
Dr. Parker’s Rapid Recovery protocol includes:
The day after your surgery, you can shower and resume light activities. We encourage you to move around briefly starting the first day to boost circulation.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort, and the dissolvable sutures don’t need removal. If you have a desk job, plan to take several days off. You can usually start light exercise within 2 weeks and upper body exercises within 3 to 4 weeks. You should be back to unrestricted activity in 4 to 6 weeks.
We encourage you to move around briefly starting the first day to boost circulation.
