Resumen
RANCATI, A. et al. Tuberous breast correction only with anatomical implants. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2013, vol.39, n.3, pp.255-260. ISSN 1989-2055. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0376-78922013000300007.
Tuberous breasts, denominated like this by Rees and Aston, and also called areolar complex hernia by Bass, Snoopy deformity by Gruber, tubular breasts by Williams, inferior pole hypoplasia by Brink, tight base breasts by Puckett, are a malformation of breast with inferior quadrants alteration that produce an areolar herniation and protrusion (in fifty per cent of the cases), and elevation of the infamammary fold; they are rarely hypertrophic and with asymmetries in two thirds of the patients. Authors present the surgical strategy to solve this pathology just using high cohesive silicone gel anatomical implants without needing of glandular flap tailoring. By this way, surgical morbidity is diminished offering stable results and high patient satisfaction.
