What is a tuberous breast?
Tuberous breasts, also called conical breasts, goat breasts, or hypoplastic breasts, are a congenital deformity that occurs in both women and men during breast development. It is characterized by widely spaced and asymmetrical breasts, a narrow breast base, a wide nipple circumference, a high inframammary fold, and herniation of breast tissue outwards from the nipple. The aesthetic surgical procedure performed to correct these problems is called tuberous breast surgery or tubular breast surgery.
This condition, often referred to as a developmental deficiency or abnormality, causes anxiety and negative psychological effects on patients. Correction of such conditions, which negatively impact quality of life by fueling aesthetic concerns, is inevitable due to both anatomical and psychological reasons.
Surgical procedures performed on breasts with visually asymmetrical shapes and volume anomalies are called tuberous breast surgeries.

How and why does a tuberous breast (tubular breast) form?
The surgical correction of tuberous breasts – tubular breast anomalies – continues to be studied in both men and women through classification, categorization, analysis of how and why they occur, and scientific research. Although the exact cause has not yet been fully determined, the prevailing view is that these deformities occur due to a genetic coding error that causes a halt in the breast development process.
Tuberous breasts – tubular breasts – result from a halt in the normal development of breast tissue in both women and men at a certain period, causing the breasts to develop in different shapes.
- Separate breasts
- Narrowing of the breast base
- The dark area around the nipple is larger than normal.
- High breast crease
- Herniation of breast tissue from the nipple
- Breast sagging
- Asymmetry between the breasts
- Failure of breast development (hypoplasia)
The severity of tube udder (goat udder) pathology is determined by examining whether one or all of these abnormalities occur in an individual.
How does the degree of tubular breast (tuberous breast) affect treatment?
Tuberous breasts, also known as tubular breasts, affect patients’ aesthetic appearance and body image. Treatment for tuberous breasts is planned according to the extent of the existing deformity. Asymmetry is often seen in tuberous breasts; one breast may develop normally while the other has a goat-boob appearance.
Tuberous (tubular) breasts can sometimes be so mild as to be unnoticeable, while at other times they manifest with significant asymmetry and deformities. Treatment is planned to correct these existing deformities.

- Reducing the size of the areola (the dark area around the nipple).
- Correction of herniated tissues from the nipple area.
- If necessary, breast implants can be used to increase breast volume.
- Correction of asymmetry; Breast lift, reduction, or breast augmentation surgeries are performed to correct asymmetry between the breasts.
Will there be scarring after tubular breast surgery?
In cases of tubular-tuberous breasts that can be corrected with fat injection alone, it is possible to achieve the desired breast appearance without leaving any scars. Other types of cosmetic surgery inevitably result in tolerable and barely noticeable scars. Incisions are made either at the nipple or below the breast, depending on the extent of the deformity. These incisions become very difficult to notice after healing and over time.

Patients often present to doctors with complaints such as “split breasts,” “small, sagging, and asymmetrical breasts,” as they cannot describe the condition themselves.
There are varying degrees of tuberous-tubular breast deformity. Mild cases may be difficult for patients to recognize. Therefore, the prevalence of this deformity in the general population is higher than commonly known. These mild tuberous-tubular breasts are often diagnosed incidentally. Experienced plastic surgeons can easily diagnose tuberous-tubular breast deformity. Tuberous-tubular breast deformity is also frequently observed in men.

Tuberous-tubular mastectomy (goat’s udder) surgery takes approximately 1-2 hours. Postoperative pain is controlled with painkillers. Patients may need to wear a sports bra for a while.

The relationship between tuberous breast, tubular breast, and breastfeeding.
In tuberous-tubular breasts, breastfeeding can be affected depending on the degree of breast deformity. Severe narrowing at the base of the breast and significant herniation at the nipple can negatively impact the formation of milk glands and milk ducts. In mild tuberous-tubular breast deformities, breastfeeding function is generally unaffected.
