Breasts that are not symmetric

Considerations:
What size do you really want and that is proportionate with your body

The nipple is not cut off

Scarring
Minimal discomfort and fast recuperation time

Procedure description:
Prior to surgery, the intended incision are marked on your body. Under general anesthesia, incisions are made around the areola (pigmented area of the nipple), extend vertically along the lower portion of the breast, and horizontally just above the fold under the breast.

Excess breast tissue, fat and skin are removed and the nipple is lifted to its new position.

After surgery:
The patient goes home in an elastic "ace" wrap and dressing, which helps hold the breasts in the correct position.

Initial discomfort is controlled with oral medication.

Sutures are usually removed in 12-14 days.

Light activities can be resumed as tolerated.

Possible Risks and Complications:
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.
