PROCEDURE

   Liposuction surgery is the procedure used to actually remove the localized deposits of fat cells that may be causing the enlargement of your chest area. If glandular tissue is present, it will be removed after the liposuction, through a small periareolar incision.

Recovery
   Resting in bed is advised for the first day. You will wear a special compression garment from two weeks to a month. Most discomfort associated with breast surgery can be controlled with oral medication prescribed by Dr. Spera. Most patients are back to work within the first week.
