What the correction procedure looks like
You will begin with an initial consultation with specialist plastic surgeon, Dr Moradi, where he will learn to understand your ideal breasts. Dr Moradi will diagnosis your condition, and find appropriate surgical procedure for you that can enhance the appearance of the breasts by improving the shape, size and symmetry.
Every patient is different, and your treatment will depend on the severity level of your tuberous breasts.
The surgery for tuberous breasts can be changed to allow for it to be coupled with a breast augmentation (see video below) if this is your preference. Both the correction and augmentation might even be done during the one operation, however it may take two operations if it's a complex matter.
The common procedure for correcting tuberous breasts is to release the constriction of the lower breast pole.
You may also have a tissue expander inserted temporarily to increase the size and shape of the breasts. Once this is completed, a permanent implant can replace the expander.
How long is the recovery?
Generally, patients will spend at least one night in hospital or be picked up and driven home by a friend or family member.
You must take one week off work and not not engage in any strenuous activity, including exercise while your breasts are healing over the following six weeks.
