Tuberous Breast Correction in Seoul, Korea
Tuberous breast correction in Gangnam, Seoul at Marble Plastic Surgery: release the constricted base, reshape the areola and restore a rounder breast.
Typical ranges for tuberous breast correction; your surgeon confirms the details at consultation.
What is tuberous breast correction?
Tuberous breast correction is surgery that releases the constricted base of a tuberous (tubular) breast, expands the lower pole and reduces an enlarged areola to create a rounder shape. At Marble Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, it is performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon.
Tuberous breasts develop with a tight ring of tissue at the base, a high fold, a narrow shape and often a puffy areola. Placing an implant alone does not correct this; the constricting tissue must be released and the fold lowered so the implant or tissue can fill the lower breast.
Who is tuberous breast correction for?
Suitability is decided at a 1:1 consultation with your surgeon.
- A narrow, elongated breast base
- A high breast fold with little lower-pole fullness
- Enlarged or protruding areolae
- Asymmetry associated with tubular shape
How tuberous breast correction is performed at Marble
- Consultation and planning Your surgeon classifies the degree of constriction, measures the fold and areola, and plans tissue release with an implant, fat grafting or both.
- Anesthesia and monitoring A board-certified anesthesiologist selects the anesthesia with your surgeon, administers it, and monitors you continuously throughout the procedure.
- Releasing the constriction Through an areolar incision, the tight tissue is scored and released, the fold is lowered, an implant is placed if planned and the areola is reduced.
- Recovery and discharge You rest in a private recovery room under monitoring. Before you leave, the team explains wound care, medication and your follow-up schedule.
Recovery and aftercare
Swelling settles over two to three weeks, and the lower part of the breast continues to soften and expand over several months.
- At least 8 post-operative care sessions
- Ultrasound and radiofrequency therapy to help prevent capsular contracture
- 1-month preventive prescription
- Annual complimentary ultrasound check
- Compression bra

Frequently asked questions
What causes tuberous breasts?
It is a developmental condition that appears during puberty, in which tight connective tissue restricts normal breast expansion.
Can implants alone fix tuberous breasts?
Usually not. Without releasing the constricted tissue and lowering the fold, the breast can show a double-bubble contour.
Is correction done in one operation?
Often yes, although more severe cases may be staged. Your surgeon explains the plan after examination.
Who will perform my procedure at Marble Plastic Surgery?
The surgeon you consult with performs your surgery. Marble follows a surgeon-of-record policy with no substitute surgeons, and a board-certified anesthesiologist is on site full-time to manage anesthesia and monitoring.
