Breast deformity correction surgery is a procedure performed to correct the size and shape of a woman’s breasts by surgically removing skin or adding tissues or placing an implant behind each breast to correct its volume and enhance its shape. There are many deformities, the most famous of which is the "Tubular Breast" or "Potato shaped Breast", in which there is mismatch between the amount of breast tisuue and overlying envelope. There is usually an abnormally large areola and other deformities as well

Am I a good candidate for the surgery?

Surgery to correct breast deformities is usually necessary, not only as a cosmetic procedure, but to restore the normal shape and size of the breast.

Correction of these deformities usually entails a complex surgery that involves removal of misplaced breast tissue, restoring the normal appearance of the breast, correcting the size of the areola, and refashioning the skin envelope to assume the shape of a normal breast. In the majority of cases, a silicone implane is inserted to enhance the volume of breast tissue, however this must be done with the other corrective procedures and not as a seperate entity.

What should I expect from my consultation?

During the consultation, you will be asked about your desired breast size and anything else related to the appearance of your breasts that you feel is important.  Dr. Wilson will examine your breasts and will consider such factors as the size and shape, the quality of your skin and the placement of your nipples and areolas.  You will be asked whether you have a family history of breast cancer and about results of any mammograms. It is important to provide complete information.

Risks of Breast Deformity Correction Surgery:

Being a major surgery, there is a slightly higher risk of seroma and hematoma formation than other breast surgeries. Restoring symmetry is usually a challenging ordeal, but this can be usually achieved with 90% accuracy, i.e. there may be a residual 10% asymmetry; which again is usually insignificant. There is no scientific evidence that correction of deformities  increases the risk of breast cancer. The presence of breast implants (if inserted), however, makes it more technically difficult to take and read mammograms.

Breast Deformity Correction: Circum-areolar Incision: This 24 year old woman had tubular breasts and a huge areola. It was treated with surgery to correct the deformity and insertion of textured high profile cohesive gel silicone implants of 400 ccs size placed under the muscle. 

Breast Asymmetry Correction: Augmentation of Left side: This 22 year old woman had left sided breast atrophy that was incompatible with the right side. The right side was enlarged by dual plane , gummy shaped 280 ccs silicone Breast Implant to achieve a near perfectly symmetric size.

Breast Reduction and deformity correction: DD Cup to B Cup: This 29 year old patient desired a breast reduction and elevation to treat her sagging breasts and fill the empty upper pole. Vertical scar breast lift and breast reduction were performed to achieve a B cup. Note the pert round shape of the breast as evident on frontal and side views. There were no transverse scars in the breast and upper pole is round and full. 



Breast Asymmetry Correction: Reduction of Right side: This 23 year old woman had right sided breast enlargement that was incompatible with the left side. The right side was reduced and lifted by vertical scar reduction, and nipple position adjusted to achieve a perfectly symmetric appearance.

Breast Reduction and Ptosis grade IV correction: DD Cup to C Cup: This 61 year old patient desired a breast reduction and elevation to treat her sagging breasts and fill the empty upper pole. She also had asymmetry and enlarged breast tail. Vertical scar breast lift and breast reduction were performed to achieve a C cup. Note the pert round shape of the breast . There were no transverse scars in the breast and upper pole is round and full. 

Breast Deformity Correction: Circum-areolar Incision: This 27 year old woman had tubular breasts in the shape of a sweet potato and a huge areola. It was treated with surgery to correct the deformity and insertion of textured high profile cohesive gel silicone implants of 325 ccs size placed under the muscle. 

Breast Deformity Correction: Vertical Incision: This 29 year old woman had sagging breasts and "kissing" nipples after massive weight loss.  It was treated with surgery to correct raise the breast and adjust the position of the areola and nipple. No implants were used.

Breast Deformity Correction: Circum-areolar Incision: This 23 year old woman had tubular breasts in the shape of a large potato and a huge areola. It was treated with surgery to correct the deformity and insertion of textured high profile cohesive gel silicone implants of 250 ccs size placed under the muscle.



Breast Augmentation and deformity correction with filling of upper pole: This 33 year old patient desired a breast enlargement and lift to treat her sagging breasts and fill the empty upper pole. Vertical scar breast lift and breast augmentation with 330 ccs implants were performed to achieve a C cup. Note the pert round shape of the breast as evident on frontal and side views. There were no transverse scars in the breast and upper pole is round and full. The areola has been reduced as well.

Breast Deformity Correction: Implant Replacement This 32 year old woman had breast asymmetry from previously placed implants that had capsular contracture. Left breast was lower and narrower than right breast.   It was treated with surgery to replace the implants, perform a breast lift and inject fat to restore symmetry and give the patient the size she wanted.

Breast Deformity Correction: Nipple and Areola Reconstruction and Fat Grafting This 24 year old woman had a previous breast reduction with another surgeon. She ended up with loose sagging breasts and lost the nipple and areola in the right side. Prof Wilson injected fat grafts to improve the shape of the breasts and reconstructed the nipple and areola using skin from the left vulva. Note the more natural cosmetic appearance.

Breast Asymmetry Correction: Fat Injection: This 33 year old woman had right sided smaller breast together with tuberose (potato) appearance of both breasts. Fat injection in the right side (220 ccs) were used to correct the deformity and resume symmetry.

Breast Reduction and deformity correction: DD Cup to C Cup with filling of upper pole: This 26 year old patient desired a breast reduction and elevation to treat her sagging breasts and fill the empty upper pole. Vertical scar breast lift and breast reduction were performed to achieve a C cup. Note the pert round shape of the breast as evident on frontal and side views. There were no transverse scars in the breast and upper pole is round and full. 

Breast Deformity Correction: Submammary Incision: This 33 year old woman had left sided Poland syndrome which includes a hypoplastic breast and atrophic muscle. It was treated with surgery to correct the deformity and resume symmetry by insertion of textured high profile cohesive gel silicone implants of 200 ccs size placed under the gland.

Breast Deformity Correction: Synmastia, Lost Cleavage, Pendulous breast: This 29 year old woman had 325 ccs silicon implants inserted under the gland and ended up with synmastia and pendulous deformed breasts. Dr. Wilson treated the synmastia and restored the natural cleavage, replacing the implants with 500 ccs textured high profile cohesive gel silicon ones according to the patient's request.
