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.
