Tuberous breast correction with Dr Morris Ritz

“Tuberous breasts are a common congenital deformity where the breasts do not develop normally, giving the appearance of a tubular looking breast.

Some patients have one tuberous breast, others have both, but often one breast is worse than the other.

I am pleased to be able to help these deserving patients achieve a symmetrical, natural looking breast shape, through tuberous breast corrective surgery.”
— Dr Morris Ritz

What does tuberous breast correction involve?

BEFORE

Tuberous breast surgery is similar to breast augmentation surgery, but it also involves the reshaping of the breast and areola (nipple), and the correcting of asymmetry. Depending on how constricted the tuberous breast is, Dr Ritz may need to perform the surgery in two stages. If this is the case, he will insert a tissue expander in the first instance to create room for the implant, which will be inserted at a later date.

AFTER

As with breast augmentation surgery, there are many implant types, sizes and shapes to choose from. If you are only having one breast corrected, Dr Ritz will choose the implant that most closely resembles the size and shape of your natural breast. If both breasts are being corrected and they are different sizes to begin with, different sized implants may be used to achieve a balanced result.

I have had my breast augmentation for 1 year now and I can honestly say I couldn't be happier. It has been life changing and boosted my confidence so much thanks to Dr Morris Ritz. I can honestly say he is the most warm, caring and experienced surgeon I have ever come across. I have worked for many surgeons myself and they are mostly all arrogant idiots. Morris really listened and understood exactly the kind of look I wanted and the results are beyond my expectations. I am so happy to recommend him to all my friends and family. Thanks Dr Morris Ritz, and Georgie for all your exceptional work. Georgie who is Morris Ritz's PA is the most organized, lovely, caring and hard working person I have come across. She is really efficient at responding to emails and makes the whole experience that much better. They are a great team together and I would never ever go anywhere else. Thanks :)

Dr Ritz will assess your breast shape and size, he will also measure you and give you implants to try. He will use our 3D Vectra Imaging machine to show you a 3D image of what sort of outcome you can expect.
