The Procedure

• Operating in our fully-accredited, private surgery suite in Naples, Florida, general anesthesia is usually used and it takes about three hours.
• Incisions depend on the size and contour of the breast but are very inconspicuous. They can often be placed only around the areolae or in the lower breast crease.
• Excess skin is removed and the breast gland is tucked and lifted to a higher position on the chest wall.
• The nipples are elevated to a higher position and reduced in size.
• If a lift and increased breast size is desired, an implant can be added at the same time.
• No drains are used.
• This can be combined with other surgeries.
