Breast Deformity

Breast deformity is a common congenital anomaly with varying degrees of constriction, hypoplasia, skin deficiency, areolar herniation, and asymmetry that poses challenges to consistency in aesthetic correction. At Plastic and Craniofacial Surgery for Infants and Children, we treat many boys and girls with breast deformity, including male gynecomastia, female enlargement, and female underdevelopment.

Reason For Breast Deformity

  • Menopause and perimenopause
  • Menstrual cycle
  • Puberty
  • Use of hormone medications such as birth control pills

Symptoms of Breast Deformity

  • Breast tissue that is cylindrical instead of rounded. The tissue is usually the same shape from the base of the breast to the end.
  • Change in the size, shape or appearance of the breast
  • Living in a high stress environment can also cause acne problems.
