Main Aspects

It also corrects the form and flabbiness of the breasts, reducing the amount of grooves.

In case the patient wants, the nipple can also be repositioned and eventually reduce its size.

The surgery tries to balance the breast’s volume with the size of the thorax seeking an aesthetically harmonic effect.

Vascularization damages and loss of sensibility of the breasts don’t exist, except in certain techniques of gigantomasties reduction.

In most of the reductions the used technique is the vertical scar (smaller scars).Facing gigantomasties, it can be necessary to use “inverted T” scar techniques (larger scars).

The discharge happens in the same day of the surgery, when the local anaesthesia is chosen.

A special bra should be used between 60 and 90 days, without interruptions.
