Hypoplastic Breast

Hypoplastic breasts occur when one or both breasts do not fully develop during puberty. When only one breast is affected, this can lead to significant asymmetry. When both breasts are involved, they may remain noticeably small in proportion to the rest of the body. In many cases, the exact cause of hypoplastic breast development is unknown. However, it may sometimes be associated with conditions such as tuberous breast deformity or genetic syndromes like Turner syndrome or Poland syndrome.

Turner syndrome is a rare chromosomal condition affecting approximately 1 in 2,500 girls and can lead to physical differences such as shorter stature and underdeveloped breasts. Poland syndrome develops early in fetal development and most commonly affects one side of the chest. It may involve underdevelopment of the breast, chest muscles, ribs, or surrounding tissues, and in some cases may also affect the hand on the same side.

Dr. Oxley has done two procedures removing cancer for me. The first visit I had with him was in the surgery suite. He was professional, punctual and had just the right amount of humour for what was a stressful time for me. The follow up visit was on time and I was booked for a second surgery. The second surgery was again, punctual and professional with a touch of humour. I am in the process of booking a follow up to my latest surgery now. I would not hesitate to use Dr. Oxley again.

My highest recommendation for an outstanding doctor and person: Dr. Rizwan Mian. Dr. Mian has surgically removed cancer from my skin a number of times in recent years - all basal-cell carcinoma. He has always been the ultimate professional but with a kind and gentle manner that calms any anxiety a patient might be feeling. And when my most recently removed skin tested positive for melanoma I was anxious indeed! This time it was a spot on my cheek that would require a large amount of tissue removal, a biopsy of the closest lymph node, and skin grafting, all done under general anesthesia. But I need not have worried. Dr. Mian was reassuring and amazingly skillful, the surgery was successful, the melanoma contained, and the complicated skin graft has healed so well that the incision on my face is already starting to disappear. Thank you, Dr. Mian!

Can’t recommend Dr Genoway enough! I was looking for a reconstructive surgeon for 5 years, had several consultations with other doctors. As soon as I met Dr Genoway, I knew I found my doctor. She is knowledgeable, experienced, kind and caring. Dr Genoway listened to all of my concerns, gave me honest medical opinion, including to comeback in a few years as I am too young for a particular procedures. I felt comfortable and not rushed or pressured. Most importantly I felt safe and in good hands. Ended up having my postpartum reconstruction and 2 other procedures (long time dream) in one go. Recovery was fast considering the extent of the procedures. I didn’t need the prescribed pain medication at all. She just has this “light hand”. Most importantly, the results are better than expected! Natural looking, better version of me, but still me. I feel more confident and much happier in my own skin.

I was a novice to surgery and the staff here were amazing - very friendly and helpful. Dr. Lee was very calm and knowledgeable and answered my questions. Breast reduction surgery was scary to me but I have zero regrets. Barely any pain or discomfort after surgery and any back pain I had before is now gone. I walk straighter and clothes fit better. My self esteem has improved. Would recommend this office and the actual surgery to anyone considering it. It’s a game changer.

I am a breast cancer survivor. After my reconstruction surgery failed I was referred to Dr Imran Ratanshi. His kind demeanor and great sense of humor put me at ease immediately. I was in a very dark place emotionally due to the appearance of my body. Dr. Ratanshi preformed a deep inferior epigastric perforator surgery and it was a complete success. I believe Dr Ratanshi saved my life! A very skilled surgeon and a wonderful man.

Hypoplastic Breast Treatment

Treatment is tailored to the individual and depends on the degree of asymmetry and the patient’s goals. Surgical correction may involve the placement of breast implants or the use of the patient’s own tissue to add volume and improve shape. In cases where one breast is significantly larger than the other, reduction or reshaping of the larger breast may also be considered to create better symmetry.

Tuberous Breast Deformity

Tuberous breast deformity, sometimes referred to as constricted breast deformity, is a congenital condition that prevents normal breast development during puberty. The severity of this condition can vary widely. In mild cases, the breasts may simply appear smaller than expected.

In more pronounced cases, the base of the breast may appear narrow or constricted, the natural crease beneath the breast may sit higher on the chest wall, and breast tissue may bulge outward through the areola. This can create a characteristic shape that differs from typical breast development.

Tuberous Breast Treatment

Treatment depends on the severity, but the principles of treatment include:

  • Expanding the constricted breast base
  • Lowering the breast crease
  • Adding volume and skin
  • Reducing the breast tissue that is bulging through the nipple-areolar complex (NAC) and reducing the NAC size

Correction may involve tissue expansion, breast implants, or occasionally the use of the patient’s own tissue to restore natural shape and balance.

Supernumerary Breast Tissue

Supernumerary breast tissue refers to additional breast tissue that develops outside the normal breast location. Because breast tissue forms along an embryologic “milk line,” this extra tissue may appear anywhere from the abdomen to the armpit. The most common location is in the underarm area, known as the axillary tail.

The amount of extra tissue can vary significantly. Some individuals may have only a small additional nipple, while others may develop a larger area of breast tissue that becomes noticeable over time.

Supernumerary Breast Treatment

In many cases, extra breast tissue does not require treatment. However, if the tissue causes discomfort, irritation, or cosmetic concerns, surgical removal can be performed to improve contour and comfort.
