About this procedure
Equalising, anatomically, pronounced differences between the two breasts in volume, shape or nipple height.
Surgical approach and technique
A different technique is used on each breast as needed; an implant may be placed on one side while the other is reduced or lifted.
Who is it for?
Patients with a visible difference in size or shape between their two breasts are candidates for surgery.
Recovery
As the tissues settle, an aesthetic balance between the two breasts is established.
Back to desk work: approx. 10 days. Social recovery: approx. 18 days. Depending on the scope of surgery you should plan for between 6 and 12 nights. The exact figure is confirmed in writing with your treatment plan.
