Indications
Absolute symmetry in the human body is almost impossible. For this reason, in some women one breast may be smaller or larger than the other 2-3 cups in size, resulting in a significant aesthetic and psychological problem especially in young women, as the breast is a symbol of femininity. Usually, women with disabilities are ashamed of their breasts, have low self-esteem and find it difficult to find the right clothes and underwear.
Technique
In breast asymmetry, each patient should be treated individually. This means that it may be necessary to reduce, increase and / or lift one breast and possibly additional operation in the other to achieve result much more harmonious and symmetric.
Type of Anesthesia
Correction of anisomastia is an operation that is always performed with general anesthesia in an organized clinic.
ΧOperation Time
In most cases it is an operation that takes about 1-3 hours.
Stay at the clinic
It usually takes one day to stay in the clinic, although in many cases the patient may leave the evening of the same day after consultation with their plastic surgeon Dr Achilleas Chantes.
Postoperative Period
After correcting the discomfort, the breasts are covered with gauze and adhesive bandages in the shape of the breasts. They usually change after 2-3 days. The patient then wears a sports bra (without a balloon) for 3 months. For a few days patients may feel some pressure or even pain when lifting their hands. Inks and edema gradually recede and disappear completely after 2-3 weeks. Occasionally the sensitivity of your nipples may be reduced, but in the long run the nipple sensitivity is maintained in most cases, and breastfeeding after pregnancy is possible.
Back to daily activities
We recommend that our patients return to their daily and professional activities approximately 1-2 weeks after surgery. During the first few days they should remain relaxed. Do not hesitate to get help with household chores (even the use of vacuum cleaners should be avoided during the first week). We advise our patients to lift only light objects and avoid lifting heavy objects and limit themselves to light exercise only during the first month. After a breast lift it is more comfortable to sleep in a supine position. If you enjoy sunbathing and even topless, you should apply a sunscreen with a protective index of 50, because the quality of the scars is negatively affected by sun exposure. Finally you can start exercising in 1-2 months.
Results
The effects of the inastastic-asymmetric breast correction are immediately visible, although the final appearance of the breast is visible about 1 year later. Scar development is always difficult to predict. The gums usually become red and swollen after a few months, becoming thinner and slightly lighter than the rest of the skin and gradually fading, but never completely disappearing. After the surgery, the breasts will regain their normal curvature and more harmonious shape and size, enabling you to wear clothes that you never could have imagined you could wear!
