The tuberous breast deformity was first described by Rees and Aston in 1976[5] following which a method of classifying the severity was developed.

[6] The appearance of tuberous breasts can potentially be changed through surgical procedures, including the tissue expansion method, use of autologous fat grafting[9] and breast implants.

A less complicated single-stage approach using saline implants can also provide a satisfactory aesthetic result.

[12] As tuberous breasts are a congenital deformity, referral for treatment under the National Health Service may be possible in the United Kingdom.

[13] For those seeking non-surgical solutions, counseling may be recommended as a way of coming to terms with body image.
