Candidates (Female)

Objective
Reduce enlarged breasts or excess fat and glandular tissue through a small areolar incision and aspirating the excess fat through liposuction.
Operating Time
1 hour to one and half hour
Anesthesia
Local with sedation
In/Outpatient
Usually outpatient.
Side Effects
Bruising, swelling, numbness, soreness, temporary pain, infection, change in nipple sensation, blood clots, change in breast contour.

Risks
Fluid accumulation, infection, asymmetry. Pigmentation changes (may become permanent if exposed to sun). In cases where there is too much excess tissue there might be the need for a second procedure to remove more tissue after the skin has retracted.
