The Best Candidates

You are an ideal candidate if you are troubled by very large, sagging breast, you feel restricted in your activities and/or your breast cause you physical discomfort.

Risk of Complications

The risks of complications like in most surgeries, include bleeding, infection. Reaction to the anesthesia is uncommon. The procedure does leave noticeable permanent scars, thru time this will be less visible. Future breast feeding may not be possible, since the surgery removes many of the milk ducts leading to the nipples. Some patients may experience a reduction or loss of feeling in their nipples and breasts, caused by the swelling after surgery. This usually fades over the next six weeks or so. In some patients, however, it may last a year or more, and occasionally it may be permanent.

Your initial consultation

It’s important to discuss your expectations with honesty so that the Doctor can give his professional advice. He will examine and measure your breast, describe the procedure in detail, explain the probable results as well as the risks, limitations and scarring that may result. Pictures are used for reference during surgery and afterwards for result comparing.

Your sugery

Your surgery itself usually takes two to four hours, but may take longer in some cases. Most of the patients are discharged the same day or the following day. This procedure is performed under general anesthesia, you’ll be asleep through the entire operation. The procedure removes excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin, and moves the nipple and areola into their new position.

Then the skin is brought from both sides of the breast down and around the areola, shaping the new contour of the breast. Liposuction may be used to remove excess fat from the arm-pit area.
