Will Medicare Cover My Tuberous Breast Correction

In Australia, Medicare can partially cover the costs of surgical procedures that are considered a medical necessity to perform. If a candidate meets the requirements set in Medicare’s guidelines, tuberous breast Medicare cover may be possible.

Tuberous breast surgery can address enlarged nipples, constricted or abnormally shaped breasts,

under-developed breasts, and other concerns with breast irregularities.

Before undergoing the surgery, candidates will need a consultation with Dr Hunt in Sydney so that the breasts can be assessed, and the surgery can be thoroughly planned. During the consultation, the costs of the procedure can be discussed – including the details of Medicare.

Medicare requirements for tuberous breast surgery in Australia

To be eligible for tuberous breast Medicare cover, you’ll need to meet the requirements outlined in the relevant Medicare item number.

The Medicare item number requirements for tuberous breast surgery can be a bit difficult for patients to understand, but you can view the information here.

During a consultation, Dr Hunt will be able to explain the criteria, and determine if you meet the criteria and are eligible for cover.

What are tuberous breasts?

Tuberous breasts, a common congenital deformity, are typically characterised by underdeveloped, conical-shaped breasts and enlarged nipples. Patients often notice their breasts appear small, square-shaped, uneven, or widely spaced.

Common features of tuberous breasts include a constricted areola, conical-shaped nipples, small breast size, breast asymmetry, a high inframammary fold, a narrow breast base, or poor lower pole development.

What causes tuberous breasts?

The exact cause of tuberous breasts is not fully understood, but it is widely believed to originate from disruptions in breast tissue development during fetal growth. This congenital condition is thought to occur when the normal growth patterns of the breast tissue are interrupted, leading to the formation of constrictive fibrous bands around the nipples. These bands may prevent the breast tissue from expanding properly, resulting in a distinctive tubular shape.

Hormonal imbalances during puberty might exacerbate the condition, influencing how the breast tissue develops and affects its overall shape. While the exact mechanisms are still being studied, it’s understood that this developmental abnormality can result in features such as a constricted areola, conical nipples, uneven breast size, and a high inframammary fold. The resulting appearance can then vary, from person to person.

What can tuberous breast surgery achieve?

With a variety of options when it comes to how the surgery can be performed, tuberous breast correction surgery can alter the shape and size of the breasts, treat conical-shaped nipples and breasts, address asymmetry and more, all in line with the patient’s particular preferences.

Each patient’s tuberous breasts will be unique, and so will the details of the procedure to make changes to their appearance – this allows for very personalised procedures, making changes that suit each patient’s body.

How is tuberous breast surgery performed?

Tuberous breast correction surgery can involve a variety of techniques to reshape and reconstruct the breasts, according to the patient’s needs.

In some cases, the process may require two separate procedures. For a comprehensive approach, Dr Hunt typically combines multiple reconstructive methods to address the diverse features of tuberous breasts.

The initial surgery often involves releasing the constrictive fibrous bands, while a subsequent procedure may focus on breast augmentation. Depending on the individual’s natural breast shape, additional treatments such as fat grafting, skin expanders, breast implants, nipple reconstruction, or mastopexy may also be included in the procedure.

Dr Hunt can explain how your procedure will be performed in more detail when you meet for your consultation, as well as outline all of your surgery options.

Understanding the costs of the procedure

Like with most surgeries, the cost of tuberous breast surgery will vary, as they will need to be calculated by the details of the procedure.

Some factors that can influence the total costs include the type of procedure being performed, if multiple procedures will be performed, the patient’s desired results, and the total time spent in surgery. Costs will include the surgeon’s fee, anaesthetist’s fee, hospital fees, and aftercare costs.

During your consultation, Dr Hunt will discuss your medical history, conduct a thorough assessment of your unique features, begin to develop a plan for your procedure and provide an accurate cost estimate for your surgery.

The process for Medicare cover: What to expect

When patients consult a plastic surgeon about a surgery, the surgeon will need to determine whether the procedure is medically necessary and eligible for Medicare cover or if it is purely performed for cosmetic reasons.

If your surgeon believes that the procedure can be deemed medically necessary, you will then need to meet the requirements for the relevant Medicare item number.

For a Medicare item number to be used, you must be referred to your surgeon by a doctor or specialist with a valid medical referral.

If you are successful in receiving Medicare cover, Medicare will cover a portion of your procedure costs.

Common Goals of Breast Surgery Patients
By Dr Jeremy Hunt FRACS - Specialist Plastic Surgeon

Common Goals of Breast Surgery Patients

There is no right or wrong when it comes to a person’s goals for breast surgery. Breast characteristics include breast symmetry, the size, natural shape, and breast and nipple position.

Of course, different people have different perceptions and opinions on what they want their breasts to look like, or what they may consider desirable. For some patients, it will be a fuller, rounder look and for others, it will be a smaller, more petite and athletic look. Each individual breast surgery patient will have a different surgical plan based on their own goals – what they desire as an individual.

Dr Jeremy Hunt is a specialist plastic surgeon performing breast cosmetic surgery. He performs different surgical techniques for breast augmentation mammoplasty, reduction mammoplasty, lift mastopexy, and reconstruction surgeries.

Consultation About Your Goals

Process of consultation is the first step, and this would involve discussing with patients their expectations, so that the image that they have in their mind can be formulated into a surgical plan.

It may take multiple consultations and is often worthwhile for patients to bring images of what they desire the results to look like. It will also be important to think about your goals realistically and understand the risks and things that could go wrong.

Factors that will need to be considered will be the height of the patient, the weight of the patient, the width of their chest, their lifestyle and the length of their chest, as well as torso in terms of a ratio.

Anatomy Of the Breast

Your breasts are mainly made up of three types of tissue:

  • Glandular tissue: containing lobes and lobules that end in bulbs (glands) that can produce breast milk. The lobes, lobules, and bulbs are all connected by thin ducts
  • Fat tissue: the adipose tissue that gives your breasts their volume. The fat fills the spaces between your breast’s glandular tissue
  • Connective tissue: the tissue that holds your breast tissue together and gives your breasts their form

There are no muscles in the breasts. However, your breast tissues are organised on top of your chest wall muscles, known as the pectoral muscles. Hence, your breast on the inside has your breast fat, lobes, lobules, and ducts sitting on top of your chest’s muscles.

On the outside, almost in the centre of the breast, you have a pigmented circular area on the breast’s skin (areola) with the nipple.

The size, volume, and positioning of these different types of breast components give each breast its unique shape, form, and size.

What Are Common Patient Goals?

When you think of what you might want your breasts look like, a lot of things can pop into your mind. How big should the breasts be? How far apart? What’s the right breast shape? Where should the breasts sit on the chest?

There isn’t a right or wrong answer, and there isn’t just one component. A combination of different breast characteristics can give you breasts that you like.

A common desire is having 45% of the volume of the breast above the nipple and 55% of the volume below. This would give a gentle ramp from the top of the breast to the location of the nipple.

This though may not meet everyone’s expectations and different people will look for a different result.

Things that need to be considered would include breast symmetry, volume, shape, elevation and position on the chest.

· Breast symmetry

drhunt blogpage img Common Goals of Breast Surgery Patients - 1

A common desire of patients is for the breasts to be symmetrical. But breasts usually have some amount of natural asymmetry, which is completely normal.

The breasts can look asymmetric when one breast is larger than the other or when one sits further down than the other. Significant cases of asymmetry can be a motivation for breast surgery for some patients.

· The breast size

Many patients desire breasts that are not too big or too small for their bodies. What defines “too big” or “too small” is personal preference and will vary from person to person.

While some people may desire for a dramatic change in their breast size, others wish to achieve greater body proportion by either reducing overly large breasts or increasing very small breasts. It also depends on the natural body type of the patient.

For example, full and voluminous breasts might fit the body of women with wide shoulders and a broad waist. The larger breast size can often better complement the dimensions of such body types.

On the other hand, the same breast size may not be desired for someone with a petite figure and a narrow waist. The breasts could look oversized which may not be good if the person wants a breast size that looks proportionate to their frame.

Whatever your goals, an experienced surgeon can cater to your desired breast size.

· Breast shape

There are a lot of different types and shapes of breasts out there. You have the round, archetype, the bell-shaped, and many other breast shapes.

The natural shape of the breast resembles a teardrop; the breast tissue starts slightly thinner at the top and then gradually slopes into more fullness below the nipple.

· Elevation

Greater breast elevation is one of the things that is commonly desired in breast surgery patients, especially in the case of mastopexy (breast lift). Losing a lot of weight, giving birth, or simply growing older can cause laxity in the breast skin.

· Breast position on the chest

Then there is the position of the breasts on the chest. Whether they are high, low, close together, or far apart. Most patients desire for their breasts to be positioned somewhere in the middle of the chest; not too high up but not too low either.

· Nipple position

One of the breast cosmetic concerns that many women have is the position of their nipples.

In some cases, the nipple can hang low on the breast or point downward; this is known as nipple ptosis. In other cases, nipples may be too far apart or too close to one another.

· Breast firmness

Goals for breast surgery isn’t just about how your breasts look, it’s also about how your breasts feel to the touch.

While firm breasts are a sign of youth and health, a lot of people also prefer the breast to feel soft. You can discuss breast firmness with your surgeon to determine what might work for you.

· Comfort

And last but not least, comfort. Good results are often what the patient feels most comfortable with. This means they’re not too heavy on your chest, don’t cause discomfort, and that they suit your standards and aesthetic goals.

Deciding on a Surgical Option

Dr Jeremy Hunt performs a variety of plastic and reconstructive breast surgeries that can change different breast features.

1. Breast augmentation Mammoplasty

drhunt blogpage img Common Goals of Breast Surgery Patients - 1

A breast augmentation mammoplasty surgery, is a cosmetic surgery done to alter the size and shape of the breasts.

This can be done using fat transfer or using an implant, be it silicone or saline and each individual patient has a decision-making process as to where the incision will be located for insertion of the breast prosthesis, whether the implant is located above or below the muscle, the shape of the implant could be round or teardrop shaped and the fill of the implant could be silicone or saline.

Ultimately, the volume of the implant can range extensively from 100 cc to 800 cc and each of these will have an impact on the final result that is achieved.

Your breast implants can be placed either above the muscle (subglandular implants) or under the muscle (submuscular implants). The placement of your implants can affect how your breasts end up looking.

2. Breast Lift Mastopexy

A breast lift or a mastopexy is another breast cosmetic surgery that can reshape your breasts without using implants.

If your breasts have enough volume but you’re concerned about their position or laxity, this procedure might help. It can also raise a low nipple position if required.

If there has been descent or drop in the height of the nipple, be it due to ageing, weight loss or potential changes with pregnancy, breastfeeding and childbirth, then a breast-lift mastopexy may be necessary to achieve the desired breast shape.

There are several mastopexy techniques, including:

  • Lollipop lift
  • Crescent lift
  • Donut lift
  • Anchor lift

3. Breast reduction Mammoplasty

Breast reduction surgery or reduction mammaplasty is a cosmetic procedure that can permanently reduce the size of excessively heavy breasts. For some patients this can involve the removal of back, neck and shoulder pain caused by excessively heavy breasts.

During a breast reduction mammoplasty surgery, Dr Hunt removes excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin to make your breasts look smaller and more proportional to the rest of your body. It can be a good option for some patients as it can relieve daily back, neck and shoulder pain and discomfort due to heavy breasts.

4. Breast reconstruction

Breast reconstruction surgery is a cosmetic surgery done to reshape the breasts and rebuild damaged breast tissue.

Dr Hunt performs reconstructive surgery of the breasts for patients with tuberous breast deformity and patients who’ve undergone breast cancer surgery.

Breast reconstruction can:

  • Restore the breast’s symmetry
  • Fix breast anatomical deformities
  • Give the breasts more volume
  • Alter the shape of the breasts
  • Reduce the size of enlarged areolas

Dr Hunt custom tailors each cosmetic breast surgery to make sure you end up with the breast features that suit both your body and aesthetic goals.

FAQs About Breast Surgery Goals

drhunt blogpage img Common Goals of Breast Surgery Patients - 1

How do you make lax breasts look good?

  • Breast laxity cannot generally be addressed without surgery. A breast augmentation mammoplasty or lift mastopexy can be suitable for people who want to reduce the appearance of breast skin laxity.

What to do if one breast is bigger than the other?

  • It’s normal for one of your breasts to have a slightly different size than the other. Breasts are hardly ever 100% symmetrical. However, if you’re concerned that one breast is visibly larger than the other, you might consider getting breast surgery. Asymmetrical breasts can be surgically altered by making one of the breasts smaller (breast reduction mammoplasty surgery) to match the other, or one of the breasts bigger (breast augmentation mammoplasty surgery) to match the size and shape of the other.

Who May Need Tubular or Tuberous Breast Correction
By Dr Jeremy Hunt FRACS - Specialist Plastic Surgeon

Who May Need Tubular or Tuberous Breast Correction

Tubular breast deformity is a congenital defect that prevents the breasts from fully developing during puberty. Tuberous breasts are often underdeveloped with enlarged or unusually shaped nipples. They commonly have a cone-shaped or box-shaped appearance with one breast looking visibly smaller than the other.

Breast cosmetic surgery is the only way to treat tuberous breast deformity and constricted breasts or enlarged nipples. It can be performed without implants if there is enough natural breast tissue. Otherwise, tuberous breast reconstruction is performed with implants to increase the volume of the breast. Medicare and your Private Health Fund may provide a subsidy towards Tuberous Breast Correction if you meet the strict criteria.

For less severe cases of breast deformity, fat grafting may be enough to sculpt the breasts and give them the desired shape. Moreover, a more advanced hybrid breast augmentation mammoplasty surgery can combine both implants and fat grafts to alter the shape of conical breasts. Dr Jeremy Hunt performs tuberous breast surgery in Australia.

What Are Tubular Breasts?

Tuberous breasts, also known as tubular breasts or hypoplastic breasts, are underdeveloped breasts that have irregular appearances. Instead of having the usual round or a pear shape, tubular breasts may be:

  • Elongated
  • Enlarged
  • Cone-shaped
  • Tube-shaped
  • Box-shaped

Tubular breast deformity can be apparent in one or both breasts and is also known as:

  • Herniated areolar complex
  • Domed nipple
  • Narrow-based breasts

Although tubular breasts come in different shapes and sizes, they have common characteristics that include:

  • A constricted breast base
  • A constrictive band in the area around the nipple (areola)
  • Lack of sufficient breast tissue in the vertical and/or horizontal direction
  • They may have a herniated nipple-areolar complex and an enlarged areola

Tuberous breast deformity is more common than we think – a lot of women who have cone-shaped breasts don’t seek treatment because they might not realise that there’s something that can be done to fix them.

What are the Characteristics of Tuberous Breasts?

Tubular breast deformity doesn’t cause any health problems or concerns. However, it might be more difficult for you to breastfeed if you have hypoplastic breasts.

Experienced Plastic Surgeons like Dr Jeremy Hunt can tell if your breasts are tuberous based on their appearance. Tubular breasts often have the following features:

  • Underdeveloped breasts
  • Enlarged areolas
  • The area around the nipple (areola) may appear constricted
  • A large gap between the two breasts (widely spaced breasts)
  • Breasts with an oval, pointed, conical, or square shape instead of a round shape
  • Lack of symmetry (one breast will appear different from or larger than the other breast)

Different Types of Tubular Breast Deformity

  • Type I hypoplasia: a Grade I tuberous breast looks relatively small and lacks tissue in the lower pole of the breast making it look short
  • Type II hypoplasia: in Grade II tuberous breasts, the lower half of the breast looks constricted and the areola is stretched with the nipple pointing downward
  • Type III hypoplasia: this is a more severe form of tuberous breast deformity where the entire breast is affected and lacks tissue. The areola is stretched or weakened and breast tissue herniates through it
  • Type IV hypoplasia: this is the most severe form of tubular breast deformity. Grade IV hypoplastic breasts have extreme constriction and minimal breast tissue

What Causes Tubular Breasts?

Tubular breasts are a congenital deformity (birth defect) that occurs during breast tissue formation. The breasts don’t grow into their full size during puberty.

The exact cause of tuberous breast deformity is still unknown but several theories have been proposed. Scientists believe that tuberous breasts may occur when:

  • The superficial tissue enveloping the breast is abnormally attached to the underlying breast tissue and chest muscle layer. This attachment restricts the normal expansion of the breast forcing it to expand in one direction (forward) and leading to the enlargement of the areola
  • During breast development, a tight ring of fibrous tissue forms around the areola and constricts the growth of the breast. As a result, breast tissue is not allowed to develop normally leading to horizontal and/or vertical breast tissue deficiency. Eventually, breast growth in the presence of this constricting ring causes a herniated areola

Tuberous Breast Correction

The only treatment for tuberous breasts is cosmetic plastic surgery. Since regular breast augmentation mammoplasty surgery cannot fully correct the appearance of tubular breasts, Dr Jeremy Hunt uses different reconstructive and surgical techniques. Depending on the shape of your breasts, the amount of natural breast tissue you have, and how severe your breast deformity is, Dr Hunt may perform one of the following procedures.

Tubular Breast Correction Without Implants

Women with a less severe form of tuberous breast deformity and enough natural breast tissue can have their tuberous breasts treated surgically without implants. This is done with what is known as a one-step tubular breast correction surgery.

During one-step tuberous breast surgery, Dr Hunt will perform the following:

  • Release the constricted tissue around the base of the breast
  • Release the constrictive band around the areola
  • Evenly redistribute your breast tissue
  • Lift the breast and reposition the nipple
  • Reduce the size of the enlarged areolas

Tubular Breast Correction with Implants (Augmentation Mammoplasty)

drhunt blogpage img Who May Need Tubular or Tuberous Breast Correction - 5

In case you have a more severe type of hypoplastic breast deformity, Dr Hunt will perform two separate procedures.

A two-step tuberous breast correction surgery involves the following:

  • During the first breast surgery, Dr Hunt will release the constrictive tissue around the nipples or base of the breast. He will then insert tissue expanders into your breasts
  • Over the next few weeks or months, the breast tissue expanders will be gradually inflated to stretch your breast skin and the muscles of your chest, creating room for future breast implants
  • Once the breasts are sufficiently stretched, Dr Hunt will perform a second surgery where the expanders are replaced with permanent breast implants
  • After the breast implants are placed, your breast tissue will be uniformly redistributed over the implant to fill in the areas of your breast that lack tissue
  • Following this, Dr Hunt will reshape your breast and nipples

This two-step breast reconstruction procedure can address breast asymmetry, alter your cleavage, add volume to your breasts, and bring breasts that are too far apart closer together.

Tuberous Breast Correction with Fat Grafting

Fat grafting is a less invasive procedure that can improve the shape of tuberous breasts without surgery. This procedure can work for patients with less severe tubular breast deformities who do not lack too much breast tissue.

During fat grafting procedure for the correction of tuberous breasts:

  • Dr Hunt will use liposuction to remove fat from your hips, thighs, or belly
  • Then, he will strategically inject the harvested fat into different areas of your breast
  • The injected fat will help loosen up the constricted breast tissue and fill in areas of the breast with little breast tissue

Tuberous Breast Correction with Composite Breast Augmentation Mammoplasty (Implants + your own Fat)

Another option to treat a tuberous breast appearance is composite or hybrid breast augmentation mammoplasty surgery also known as lipo-implant. During this hybrid surgery, Dr Hunt uses both implants and fat grafting.

This type of cosmetic surgery isn’t just about making your breasts look different. It’s more complex than regular breast augmentation mammoplasty surgery because it involves full breast surgery to address an anatomical deformity.

Dr Jeremy Hunt has experience in breast surgery and extensive knowledge of breast anatomy. He combines both his surgical skills with his anatomical knowledge to fully reconstruct the breasts.

FAQs about Tuberous Breasts

drhunt blogpage img Who May Need Tubular or Tuberous Breast Correction - 5

Are tuberous breasts small?

  • Although they come in various shapes and sizes, most tuberous breasts do look smaller. You can usually tell if you have tubular breasts if there’s a large gap between your breasts, your nipples appear collapsed or constricted, and your breasts have an underdeveloped appearance.

Can tubular breasts be large?

  • Tubular breasts come in different shapes and sizes and may be small or large. All tuberous breasts share common characteristics such as an irregular breast shape, constricted breast tissue, and underdeveloped breast tissue. However, even though a tuberous breast will look smaller than the other normal breast, it can still be large in some cases.

Is tubular breast deformity rare?

  • Tubular breast deformity is not very common, but at the same time, it cannot be considered rare. Doctors believe that the low number of reported tubular breast cases is because a lot of women who have this deformity do not seek treatment for it.

Can you breastfeed with hypoplastic breasts?

  • It is possible to breastfeed with tubular breasts although it may be challenging. If only one of your breasts is hypoplastic, you will likely still be able to breastfeed with your other normal breast. Even if both of your breasts have some degree of tubular deformity, you might be able to breastfeed if you have enough developed breast tissue. However, the more severe the tuberous breast deformity, the chances of having enough natural breast tissue to produce enough milk for your baby are lower.

What do tubular breasts feel like?

  • Tubular breasts can be defined more by how they look than by how they feel. They usually have a cone-like shape and enlarged areolas. Nevertheless, the fibrous constrictive ring of tissue at the base of the breast or around the areola can feel dense to the touch. (this constrictive ring is released during corrective surgery)

How can I make my tubular breasts look normal?

  • Currently, the only treatment for tubular breasts is cosmetic surgery. Tubular breast reconstruction surgery can be done with or without implants (augmentation mammoplasty). For less severe cases of tuberous breast deformity, fat grafting into the tubular breast can help give it a fuller and rounder shape. A composite breast augmentation mammoplasty surgery that includes both implants and fat grafting can address the shape of breasts with more severe tubular breast deformity.
