The Procedure
Your anatomy, Dr. Work, and desired result will determine your specific procedure. The most common method uses a three part incision: incisions are made around the areola, vertically to the crease, underneath he breast and horizontally beneath the breast following the natural crease. Excess tissue, fat and skin are removed, then nipple and areola are shifted to a higher position and the areola is reduced in size.

Before and After
The first week after surgery, surgical drains are removed, dressings are changed and non-strenuous work can be resumed. After two weeks, bruising, swelling, and discomfort diminish; a support bra is no longer needed; sensation in the nipple and areola improve gradually; and normal activity and mild exercise can resume. After a few months, your breasts settle into a more natural shape; incision lines begin to fade and back, neck, and shoulder pain is relieved.
