Operative and post operative:

The surgical procedure involves removal of both glandular tissues and the excessive fat. Through a small cut along the margins of the nipple entire tissues causing the bulge are removed by combination of direct excision and or Liposuction. After the removal a negative pressure drain tube is kept under the skin for next 24 hour or to remove out any excessive collection of fluid or blood. Most of the cases go back home the same evening with dressings applied over the chest wall. Stitches are removed after about 7 to 10 days and a pressure band or elasticized vest like garment is worn for next 3 weeks or so for the extra skin to settle back.

Results and complications:

This operative procedure is absolutely painless and is usually done under local or general anesthesia. The results are very good and are permanent. No fatal complications are there because of surgery. Collection of blood requiring aspiration or drainage, mild skin irregularities, depression of nipple region, temporary loss of sensations over the nipples are some of the correctable complications that might occur in small percentage of the cases.
