WHAT ARE TUBEOROUS BREAST?
Tuberous breast (also called: breast snoopy tubular nose), are a malformation of the breast consisting of three characteristic morphological signs, that may be present in whole or in part depending on the severity:
1) Poor or no development of the lower quadrants of the breast.
2) High and constricted inframamary fold. This submammary fold, behaves like a band of tissue that constricts the breast tissue The mammary gland, "accumulates" above that zone determining a tube shape, depending on the degree of aggressiveness of the deformity.
3) Herniation of breast parenchyma through the areola, determining serious dilatation of it.
TUBEROUS BREAST DEFORMITY DEGREES
Although sometimes is dificult to classify tuberous breast, clasically has been described three tuberous breast degrees:
Grade I.- Poor breast development in the lower and inner quadrant of the breast.
Grade II.- Poor breast development in the lower cuadrant of the breast (internal and external).
Grade III.- Poor breast development in the upper and lower quadrants of the breast.

considerations
The tuberous breasts suppose the mammary deformity more frequent. In my experience, in this type of breast, patients come with some fear, with some anxiety, fearing that their problem has no solution.
It is very important to reduce that emotional component, making them see that we are going to solve their problem and that we can achieve a good result. My experience and good results in this type of breast causes patients to come to my center throughout Spain to solve their problem.
