# How to Simulate Tuberous Breast

Simulating a **tuberous breast correction** requires careful consideration of breast asymmetry, volume differences, and surgical planning. [**Arbrea Breast**](https://arbrea-labs.com/docs/how-to-use-arbrea-breast-an-overview/) offers a complete workflow to support this, allowing surgeons to visualize correction steps such as **volume reduction, implant placement, shape refinement, NAC repositioning**, and **scar simulation**—all with real-time feedback.

## **Using the Measurements Tool**

1. Open the **Measurements Tool** to analyze:

   - **Base width**
   - **Breast projection**
   - **Asymmetries and volume discrepancies**

      2. Click again to access **volume analytics**, which are automatically calculated by the system.

**Why It’s Important:**
Gives a **clear overview of structural differences** in tuberous breast cases and serves as the baseline for planning.

## **Reducing Volume in One Breast**

1. If one breast has significantly more volume, go to **Reduction Mode**.
2. Unlock the symmetry to reduce **only one breast independently**.

      3. Use the sliders to fine-tune the reduction.

Helps simulate **corrective surgery and volume balancing** for asymmetrical cases.

## **Choosing an Implant from the Catalog**

1. After going to the **Augmentation Mode**, open the **Implant Catalog** to select an appropriate implant.
2. Filter by **brand, shape, projection, and diameter**.
3. Apply the implant to one or both breasts depending on the correction needed.

Adds structure and support, which is key in **tuberous breast reconstruction**.

## **Refining the Simulation with the Shape Tool**

1. Use the [**Shape Tool**](https://arbrea-labs.com/docs/how-to-use-the-shape-tool/) to adjust the overall appearance, including:

   - **Vertical lift**
   - **Base width expansion**
   - **Lower pole shaping**

     2. Modify projection and placement to simulate the final desired outcome.

Allows surgeons to **visualize the aesthetic corrections in detail**.

## **Using the NAC (Nipple Areola Complex) Tool**

1. Open the **NAC Tool** to reposition or resize the nipple-areola complex.
2. Define both the **source (current position)** and **target (new, surgically planned position)**.
3. Adjust size for a **symmetrical and proportional look**.

Essential in **tuberous breast correction**, where areola positioning often needs adjustment.

## **Using the Scars Tool**

1. Activate the [**Scars Tool**](https://arbrea-labs.com/docs/how-to-use-the-scars-tool/) to show expected scar patterns.

      2. Choose from **periareolar, vertical (lollipop), or inverted T (anchor)** scar types.

Helps patients **understand the extent and location of post-surgical scars**.

## **Saving and Comparing with the Bookmark Tool**

1. Use the **Bookmark Tool** to save different versions of the simulation.
2. You can create bookmarks to compare:

   - Different implant sizes
   - Before vs. after reduction
   - Shape refinements

Makes it easier to **present multiple options and guide patient decisions**.

## **Conclusion**

Simulating a **tuberous breast correction** with **Arbrea Breast** is precise and comprehensive. From **analyzing asymmetries** and **adjusting volumes**, to **choosing implants**, **refining the shape**, and **visualizing scars**, the platform equips surgeons with the tools needed for accurate planning and effective patient consultations.
