PROCEDURE DESCRIPTION
The procedure is done on an overnight basis under sedation and local or general anesthesia. The design of the incisions can vary but usually include incisions around the nipple-areolar complex and sometimes in the crease of the breast. The nipple-areolar complex is repositioned higher, the excess skin is removed, and the breast is reshaped in a pleasing contour and in a more natural position.
RECUPERATION AND HEALING
The patient goes home in a bra with only light dressings over the incision lines. The bra is worn as a dressing for 2-3 weeks. Sutures dissolve on their own. Initial discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication. Light activities may be started in 7-10 days. Contact sports should be avoided for 6 weeks.
OTHER OPTIONS
Additional procedures that may enhance the result are a small breast reduction or breast enlargement.
NOTE
The specific risks and the suitability of this procedure for a given individual can be determined only at the time of consultation. All surgical procedures have some degree of risk. Minor complications that do not affect the outcome occur occasionally. Major complications are rare.
