It can also include a liposuction of the lateral breast wall to improve its contour. It takes about 2 or 3 hours, depending on the mammary hypertrophy grade.
General anesthesia and 1 day stay. Stitches are removed after 10-15 days. A bandage is placed during the first 24 hours and afterwards a sport bra is used.
