The Surgery
There are many methods of performing the procedure, but the most common procedure involves an anchor-shaped cut that follows the usual contour of the breast.
The incision draws the area from which breast skin will be removed and delineates the new location for the nipple. After the excess skin has been removed, the nipple and areola then moved to the higher position. You surgeon can also use a liposuction just to eliminate excess fat from the armpit area.
There are some cases in which the nipples stay attached to their blood vessels and nerves. When the breasts are very large or pendulous, the nipples and areolas are usually completely removed and transplanted into a higher position.
Stitches are typically situated around the areola, in a vertical line enlarging downwards from the nipple area, and along the lower crease of the breast. In some cases, the surgeon can use some techniques to reduce the vertical part of the scar. When only you need is to remove some excess fat your doctor can perform only liposuction to reduce breast size that will leave minimal scars.
