PALACIN CASAL, J.M.. Transversal mammoplasty in tuberous breast. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2011, vol.37, n.3, pp.205-214. ISSN 1989-2055.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0376-78922011000300001.

Tuberous breast or constricted breast is a female mammary gland congenital malformation which can be unilateral or bilateral. It was first described by Rees and Aston in 1976. It can be present in different grades of severity. Numerous surgical techniques have been described during the last 40 years, and the main objective is the recreation of the lower pole by using glandular flaps or radial incisions. This article describes a personal surgical technique based on three transverse incisions that include the whole glandular thickness and together with anatomic cohesive gel mammary implants, provide enough volume to the lower pole, achieving a be tter shape and thus helping to improve a greater percentage of hypoplastic tuberous breast.

Keywords : Tuberous breast; Transversal mammoplasty.
