Breast Enhancement for Constricted Breasts

Constricted breast abnormality is a common breast irregularity found in both men and women. While present at birth, the full extent of the tubular breast deformity or constricted breasts are often not appreciated until puberty. During this time the breasts start to mature and the full extent of development starts to appear. Specifically in women, a constricted breast irregularity tends to shorten the distance between the areola and the base of the breast. Some may appear elongated or tubular in shape or the areola may seem overly full. The extent to which the abnormality manifests can vary widely, but many seek the assistance of plastic surgery to enhance their breasts.

For a mild condition, a breast augmentation may be sufficient treatment. Adding a saline or silicone breast implant to the area may help release the tight constriction on the inside. This may result in the nipple to mound relation more proportioned for a more desirable size and shape. Other women with more moderate to severe symptoms may appreciate additional procedures. This may include combining a breast implant with a breast or nipple lift. The lift has the benefit of moving the areola higher on the breast, or reducing the areola size. This helps center the nipple on the mound or keep the nipple to skin ratio balanced for overall aesthetic harmony.
