Abstract: 
Tuberous breast is a common congenital deformity that might present as unilateral or bilateral breast base constriction, asymmetry, areolar herniation, hypoplasia, ptosis, and skin deficiency. Patients might present with one or more of the mentioned features, rendering a consensus about the optimal surgical technique to correct this deformity nonexistent. In our review article, we present the most common classifications of a tuberous breast, in addition to several surgical approaches that attempt to treat this deformity.
