Understanding Breast Asymmetry & Tuberous Breast Conditions
While most women have some degree of natural breast asymmetry, more pronounced differences can cause physical and emotional distress. Tuberous breast deformity is a congenital condition that presents specific challenges:
Breast Asymmetry
- Significant differences in breast size, shape, or position
- May affect nipple-areolar complex size and position
- Often becomes noticeable during adolescence
- Can be exacerbated by pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or aging
- May present alongside tuberous breast deformity
Tuberous Breast Deformity
- Congenital condition affecting approximately 5% of women
- Characterized by constricted breast base with limited development
- Often includes enlarged or puffy areolas
- Typically features minimal lower pole fullness
- May present with a high inframammary fold
- Can affect one or both breasts with varying degrees of severity
- Classified into three grades based on severity and extent of breast involvement
