Mammary hypoplasia, or insufficient glandular tissue, is characterized by breasts that appear tubular, widely-spaced, or significantly asymmetrical, leading some women with this condition to seek reconstructive surgery.
Mothers who have had hypoplastic breasts may not be able to produce enough milk (primary lactation failure) and will need lactation support to learn how to stimulate production and/or how to supplement with pasteurized donor human milk or formula. www.cdc.gov
