The operation consists of reducing the size of the areola, incorporating breast volume through an implant that is usually round, although it can also be anatomical and free the fibrous rings that constrain the expansion of the breast in its four quadrants.
The incisions that are usually made are around the areola, taking advantage of them to reduce their size. The intervention is performed under general anesthesia and hospitalization can be overnight. The use of breast prostheses is usually quite frequent to correct the deformity. In this case, they are usually placed immediately under the glandular tissue so that through the expansion produced by the prosthesis, the breast adopts a more natural shape.

No. To modify the shape of the tuberous breasts, it is necessary to modify the structure of the breasts, which is why it is necessary to intervene surgically.
The breasts are tube-shaped, with a narrow base and a large areola that can occupy the entire width of the breast and very frequently asymmetrical. They are often referred to as “goat breasts” (goat breast) because of their shape.
There are various degrees of severity that determine the treatment. The most common is that you need a reduction of the areolas (scar around the areola) with a glandular modification accompanied by breast prostheses that will confer a more attractive shape and size.
