What Procedure Includes?

The surgeon makes an incision near the areola and below each breast, removes extra breast tissues or fat from the skin to reduce the size of each breast. It reshapes and resizes the breasts. The specialists try to achieve symmetry between both the breasts for which the size of areola might be minimized and incision scars might fade away over time. If the breasts are very large the doctor will perform grafting to provide you the desirable shape. But if you are planning about pregnancy or weight loss you should postpone it because after childbirth, breastfeeding might be challenging and losing weight can also result in change of your breast size. After the procedure the breast might be sensitive and swelling and bruises might occur. The physical activity should be restricted for at least four weeks to heal the incision and avoid wearing tight clothes. You can wear an elastic  bra  to support your breasts.
