HR Plastic Surgery - Misshapen Breasts Causes

What causes misshaped breasts?

Misshapen breasts can be due to an abnormality in breast development, the most common of which is known as tuberous breasts, where the breasts may have a more triangular shape, tightness and lack of volume in the inferior pole as well as large elongated pointing down nipples.

Other causes of misshapen breasts include hormonal changes as occurs during pregnancy and breast feeding.

Finally breast cancer surgery can result in abnormalities in the shape of the breast.

What can I do about misshapen breasts?

Misshapen breasts don’t actually need medical treatment. But if you are not happy with the appearance of your breasts and it’s affecting your self-esteem or body image, you may seek options to improve the shape.

It may be possible to add volume to your breasts by redistributing the existing tissue, moving fat from another part of your body to your breast, use implants to enhance the volume and shape, or use combination of these techniques.

Speaking to an experienced consultant such as Mr Ridha can be helpful in understanding what a procedure could do for you and the results that might be possible.

I had a breast reduction with Mr. Ridha in early March 2025 and couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the first consultation, I felt completely at ease — Mr. Ridha is both extremely talented and kind. The care and attention I received were outstanding. A special thank-you to Teresa, his wonderful secretary, for her incredible aftercare and daily check-ins — she made the whole recovery process so much smoother. I’m absolutely thrilled with the results; I feel so much more confident, and it’s truly been life-changing. Thank you again to Mr. Ridha and the team for everything!

I had a Breast Reduction with Mr Hyder Ridha a few months ago and I honestly couldn’t be happier. He’s kind, incredibly talented, professional,and made me feel completely at ease throughout. The results are fantastic! It has given me so much confidence. A huge thank you as well to his PA, Teresa, who was so supportive from start to finish. It truly has been life-changing for me! Highly recommended.

I cannot find enough words to express how grateful I am to Mr Ridha and his PA Teresa Jellis. I had been wanting to have a breast reduction for many years but obviously concerned with finding the right surgeon. Mr Ridha’s 5 star reviews were accurate and as soon as I first spoke with Teresa to arrange a consultation my fears were alleviated. Mr Ridha put me at complete ease from my first appointment and the outcome is so much better than I could have wished for. My breasts suit my frame so well and the scars have healed remarkably after only 8 weeks. Teresa has been amazing from start to finish with daily phone calls or messages following surgery and always on hand to answer any questions I had. Everyone at Pinehill hospital from reception to nurses to kitchen staff have all been amazing. I feel like a new person and have regained so much confidence. I didn’t realise just how much discomfort I was in until after surgery, I no longer stoop and my back, neck and shoulder pain has disappeared. I can now wear pretty tops and dresses again 😊

Love the results of my breast augmentation carried out by Dr Ridha. I couldn’t have imagined a better result - they look natural and suit my particular body shape. PA Teresa was also wonderful, I never felt like I was on my own. Thank you!!

I spent a long time researching the best surgeon to carry out lower and upper blepharoplasty for me and when I met Mr Rhida I knew he was the one. Straight away, I was comforted by his caring and confident bedside manners, calmly talking me through the procedures explaining each stage of the surgery and reassuring me about the results - I felt I could trust him completely. Mr Rhida’s PA Teresa was nothing short of amazing, checking in with me throughout my recovery, including weekends! Any queries or concerns were answered immediately with care. The eyes healed very quickly with very minimal bruising and the results are very natural. I am absolutely thrilled! I cannot recommend and thank mr Rhida enough for correcting a problem I was very self conscious about and was impacting my confidence. Apart from being a brilliant surgeon, mr Rhida is also a great human being who was empathetic and understanding when for some personal reasons I initially had to postpone the procedure at the last minute. Just one regret: not to have had it done 10 years earlier!

Am super pleased with the results after a tricky surgery. Mr Ridha is an excellent surgeon who puts you at total ease. His honest opinions make sure that what is happening is right for you. My post op care at Pinehills was exceptional. His assistant Teresa is warm and welcoming and put you at ease. Thank you both.
