Breast “tube”: all about congenital “zest” and ways to get rid of it

It is an anomaly of the development of the mammary glands which begins to appear during adolescence and is characterized by a narrow base, breast disproportion, an increase in the size of the areola and, in most cases, a sagging of the breast. breast.

The feature does not pose a threat to health, but due to the fact that deforming changes in the mammary glands occur during puberty, there is a high probability that this will lead to the development of serious psychosexual disorders. In girls with this pathology, complexes can form about the insufficient size of the breast, as well as its tubular shape, as the “tube” breast is often called.

The reasons for the development of this anomaly have not yet been fully elucidated, but it is assumed that at the time of puberty and the active growth of the mammary glands, the fascial system of the breast does not partially or completely “open” . For this reason, all the breast tissue is concentrated under the areola and, as it grows, stretches the areola and forms a cone-shaped breast.

Most often, this anomaly in the development of the mammary glands occurs on both sides, but it is not necessarily symmetrical. Let’s take a closer look at the types of the tubularity classification described below.

The most subtle type of tubularity. In this case, girls are most often not even aware that there is a problem. This degree is characterized by impaired development and lack of shape of the lower-inner quadrant of the mammary glands. The areola with this type of tubularity most often has a normal or slightly enlarged appearance.

It is characterized by impaired development and lack of shape of the entire lower pole of the mammary glands. The gland tissue is maximally concentrated in the region of the areola and the upper pole of the chest. The areola is stretched, there is often a ptosis.

It is characterized by impaired development and lack of shape of the mammary glands in the lower and upper poles. The entire tissue of the gland is concentrated behind the areola, which, in turn, is strongly stretched and elongated with a “tube”. As a result, the so-called “areolar hernia” and breast ptosis are formed.

There is an opinion on the net that with the timely detection of a tubular deformity of the breast, it is necessary to perform special exercises, which are supposed to help solve the problems. Let me tell you right now that it won’t help. There are no muscles in the mammary gland, it is purely physical to “inflate” it. The only advantage of physical exercises is that the volume of the pectoral muscles increases, due to which the glands rise a little, but this will not affect the shape of the breast. Tubular breasts can only be corrected surgically.

Here are the most common fixes:
