Tuberous Breast Croydon – A Leading Surgeon

However, first a few words about Elena and why you should consider her for this procedure.

Elena is a truly world class cosmetic surgeon, a status backed up by her experience and stunning CV. She has nearly 20 years experience as a cosmetic surgeon having spent eight years training in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Since then, she has held Fellowships around the world, including prestigious postings at Guys and St Thomas in London, as well as Barcelona, Milan, India and the University Hospital in Tokyo, Japan.

Elena has also won numerous awards and her qualifications include being a Board Certified UK Consultant Plastic Surgeon.

We mention Elena’s experience and track record not to boast but to demonstrate that by entrusting her you are in the best hands.

Elena also stands out through her ethos and her manner with prospective patients. She uses in-depth consultations to really get to know the patient and their aims for the surgery, and follows up an initial consultation with a second meeting at a later date. This second consultation is important, it allows the would-be patient time to consider if surgery truly is for them and also for them to make a decision with no time pressure.

As Elena says:
“The one thing that matters most to me when I am with a patient is empathy.
It is only when you are able to identify and understand your patients’ problems that you can begin to help resolve them satisfactorily.
“A good surgical outcome is not the only thing that matters. Everything that you do and say to a patient has to come from your heart.”

As the reviews below show, Elena is getting it right, with universal five star reviews across multiple independent review sites.

Tuberous Breast Treatment Croydon – Who Is It For?

Tuberous breast treatment can rectify breasts that are under-developed and of an ‘unusual’ shape – this can be through lack of volume, constriction of the breast base and a prominent, enlarged areola.

For many, these issues have led the prospective patient to feel self conscious since puberty.
If you are concerned that your breasts have not developed normally, a confidential consultation with Elena in Croydon is a sensible option, with her expertise she can perform an examination and then advise as to whether surgery is appropriate.

If any of the following are causes for concern then tuberous breast treatment could well be the right option.

Wider Areola – Herniation
Narrower breast base
The fold beneath Your breast (inframammary crease) is high
Breast Asymmetry
Elongated Breasts

If treatment is appropriate, Elena has a number of techniques to restore shape, volume and symmetry, this would be something discussed during the consultation process.

For further information on tuberous breast treatment, we have a dedicated page, this includes a before and after gallery, a guide to prices and information on how long the surgery takes and the recovery time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are You Considering A Tuberous Breast Correction?

Many of Elena’s tuberous breast patients have felt self-conscious about the issue since puberty, which is when this issue manifests. If you are concerned that your breasts are either not developing normally, or have never reached their shape, we suggest you book a confidential discussion with Elena to discuss whether this surgery might be appropriate for you.

Is Tuberous Breast Surgery Right For You?

If any of the following characteristics feel true, then it is likely this is the correct surgical procedure. Of course, this can be confirmed following a detailed discussion with Elena:

• Elongated or coned Breasts
• Narrower breast base
• The fold beneath your breast (inframammary crease) is high
• Prominent enlarged areola.

What Are The Risks Of Tuberous Breast Surgery?

While complications with surgery are infrequent, no surgical procedure is without risks. Among the possible complications are scars, infection, haematoma, implant displacement, breast asymmetry, implant rupture and capsular contracture. Elena will provide you with further information with the risks and provide you with a detailed consent form during your consultations. This will help you to minimise the risks.

What Is The After Care For Tuberous Breast Surgery?

The Elena Prousskaia Clinic prides itself on the quality of its aftercare so we’ll make absolutely sure you know what to expect, and how much rest is needed. We’ll give you specific instructions that may include how to care for your breasts following surgery, medications to apply or take orally to aid healing and reduce the risk of infection, and when to follow-up with Elena. Elena will also advise you on a specialised garment bra which will also help with your recovery.

Will I Be Able To Wear A Normal Bra?

Tuberous breast correction ensures that patient gains missing volume especially in the lower pole of the breasts, which tend to be short of skin and breast tissue. Once the lower pole of the breast becomes rounder and fuller a bra would normally fit well.

How Do You Fix Tuberous Breast?

The procedure is carried out under general anaesthetic. The length of surgery is between 2-3 hours however this is dependent on the complexity of surgery. The placement of scars will depend on your preference and the recommendation. The missing volume is restored with implants after breast remodelling is completed, normally as part of the same procedure. Areola reduction can be performed through periareolar approach, with a scar around the nipple areola complex. The Implant often can be introduced through the scar using a Keller funnel resulting in minimal scaring.  Very rarely in severe grade of tuberosity a two stage surgery may be needed. In these rare cases, tissue expanders would be placed first to stretch the tissue and at the second stage it would be replaced with implants.

What Does This Procedure Cost?

What Is The Recovery Time For Tuberous Breast Surgery?

Normally, after a one-night stay, you would go home once the drains are removed. You may feel tightness of your breasts after this surgery. This is normal and it will improve gradually. You should avoid all sport activities, housework such as hovering, driving, dog walking for at least 4-6 weeks following surgery and any weight lifting or strenuous activities for up to 8-12 months following the surgery. The visibility of your scars will depend on the technique used and on the biological response of your body to surgery and healing. Generally the scars after this type of surgery are almost invisible by the end of the year. Patients can benefit from taking four weeks off work, and after you have seen Ms Prousskaia for your four weeks follow up you can discuss beginning a gym routine focused on lower body strength.

What Type Of Implants Are Used?

The shape of implants can be round or anatomical (teardrop). Both can provide an excellent result. The outer shell and the filling may vary depending on the manufacturer. Miss Prousskaia has never used PIP implants in her practice and she will offer you high quality implants from the best manufacturers. You will discuss with Miss Prousskaia which specific shape and size of implant would give you the optimal result. You should know that in the European Union (EU) 95% of implants used for breast augmentation are made of silicone gel and only 5% contains other type of fillings such as saline. Mentor Silicone Gel-Filled Breast Implants are devices with shells constructed from silicone elastomer. The shell is filled with MemoryGel®, Mentor’s proprietary formulation of silicone gel.

What Would My Expected Results Be?

Elena prides herself on taking the time to truly understand a patient’s aims and discussing what result will work best given the patient’s body shape and size. Although good results are expected, the body is not symmetric and almost everyone has some degree of unevenness, which may not be recognized in advance. The more realistic your expectations as to results, the better your results will be in your eye. You will have at least two consultations with Elena where she ensures that she meets your expectations and she will always try to achieve your desired results.

Can I Smoke Or Vape Before My Surgery?

Elena does not operate on patients that regularly smoke or vape. To be considered for this procedure you must refrain from smoking or vaping for 3 months before and after your surgery.
