Tubular breasts are a common condition where the breasts appear elongated, narrow, or lacking in volume. They often point downward and may give the impression of sagging or a flat chest, even in younger women. While well-fitting bras can help improve appearance under clothing, many women feel self-conscious when undressed or in swimwear. Breast augmentation offers a long-lasting solution by improving both shape and size.
How Breast Implants Can Help?
For women with tubular breasts, breast implants can restore a more rounded and natural shape. Sometimes, the focus is less on increasing size and more on correcting the structure of the breast to create symmetry, fullness, and a natural contour. At Macys Plastic Surgery, we use Motiva™ implants. Motiva implants come in a variety of shapes and textures, some designed to mimic the natural movement of breast tissue. By selecting the right implant for you, we can achieve completely natural results.
What Tubular Breast Surgery Involves
The procedure is similar to a standard breast augmentation:
- An incision is made, usually in the crease beneath the breast, though in some cases it may be around the nipple.
- Breast tissue and skin are lifted to create a pocket for the implant. The implant is placed either directly behind the breast tissue or under the chest muscle.
- Surgery typically lasts 1-2 hours, and permanent scarring will occur, usually hidden in the breast fold. Scars fade over time and can easily be concealed by clothing.
Most patients stay overnight in hospital so our team can monitor recovery from the start. After surgery, you should plan to rest and avoid lifting or strenuous activity for at least two weeks. Loose, comfortable clothing is recommended, and follow-up appointments will ensure your healing stays on track.
Recovery and Returning to Daily Life
Everyone recovers at a different pace, but many patients are able to return to work and normal activities within a couple of weeks. Physical activities, heavy lifting, and sports should be avoided until your scars have fully healed.Although recovery requires some time and care, the long-term benefits are worth it. Correcting tubular breasts with implants can significantly improve self-esteem, confidence, and body image, giving you a more feminine and attractive silhouette.
