Tuberous breasts (or tubular breasts) are a result of a congenital abnormality[2] of the breasts which can occur in both men and women (also see Hypoplasia), one breast or both. During puberty breast development is stymied and the breasts fail to develop normally and fully. The exact cause of this is as yet unclear; however, a study in 2011 of the cells in the breasts of both males and females with tubular breasts suggested a genetic link in a disorder of collagen deposition.[3] The condition is thought to affect one to five per cent of breast augmentation patients;[4] however, the proportion of the general population affected is unknown as surgery is not always sought.
