Tubular Breasts
The definition of "tubular breasts" includes a range of breast types. In general, it means that in terms of shape, the breast appears to have a narrow base and the tissue itself seems as though it's constricted. The inframammary fold, where the breast attaches to the chest wall underneath, is unusually high and the areola is larger, proportionally, than normal. For many women, the best way to describe their tubular breasts is to say they look a bit like Snoopy's nose. In fact, tubular breasts are sometimes referred to as "Snoopy breasts."
For most women with tubular breasts, also called tuberous breasts, it's not enough to plan a simple augmentation with breast implants. Sacramento women wishing to reconstruct their tubular breasts often need internal incisions to release the constricting tissue and create the desired outcome. In cases of severe tubular breasts, a breast lift can be done through an incision around the areola, making the breast a more pleasing, rounder shape.
Because of the deficiency of breast tissue in women with tubular breasts, below the muscle is the preferred placement for breast implants. Sacramento women typically choose silicone implants because they tend to maintain their shape better than the saline alternative.
