PROCEDURE
DESCRIPTION
The procedure is done under general
anesthesia on an outpatient basis. Incisions are made
around the pigmented area (the nipple/areolar complex)
and extend vertically below the nipple and in the fold
under the breast. The nipple-areolar complex is moved
upward to the desired location; excess breast tissue,
fat, and skin are removed.
RECUPERATION AND HEALING
The incisions are covered with
light dressings, and the breasts are placed in a bra.
The bra holds the breasts symmetrically during initial
healing. The scars will fade in 6-18 months. Initial
discomfort subsides daily and can be controlled with
oral medication. Surgery may reduce, but not eliminate,
the ability to breast feed.
OTHER OPTIONS
An additional procedure that would
enhance the result is Liposuction of the axillary area
to reduce excess fat deposits.
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.
