Many women are not happy with the shape of their breasts. As a woman’s breasts develop, they may take a form that is unsatisfactory, potentially leading to a loss of self-confidence or lack of intimacy. Tuberous breasts, also known as tubular breasts where insufficient glandular tissue exists, may be tubular, constricted, or herniated to varying degrees. All these conditions are relatively common and can be fixed with appropriate surgical procedures. They are often noticed with the onset of puberty. The condition is not simply one of undeveloped small breasts, as there may be underlying factors such as skin deficiency, malposition, or herniation that ruins the appearance of breasts.
