This surgery can improve the shape of hanging (saggy) breasts. It yields good results in a sense of breasts shapes, but at expense of scars created from the removal of redundant skin. The scars are around areolas, from there upright down and in the under breast corrugation. The scar looks sort of like an anchor. The scars pale out throughout the time, but stay and their quality is individual. This surgery is carried out only with the hanging breasts. The breast reduction, if needed, is a different surgery, requires hospitalisation and is more demanding in terms of post-surgical care.

The surgery is done in the complete anaesthesia and takes about 3 hours. Prior to the operation, the surgeon measures and draws the cutting lines and the amount of removed skin. The elastic bandage is put on after the surgery.

1. After the plastic surgeon's check-up and determining the date of surgery the patient gets the recommendation for the internal pre-surgical check-up, which cannot be older than 1 month before the surgery.
2. At least one month prior to the surgery the patient cannot use any drugs containing acetylsalicylic acid (which reduces the blood coagulation), for example Acylpyrin, Acylkoffin, Aspro, Alnagon. The usage of these drugs highly increases the risk of heavy bleeding during and after the surgery; such patient cannot undergo the surgery!!
3. The patient cannot suffer from any virus-based or any other diseases or undergo convalescence (recovery).
4. The surgery is paid for on the day of the surgery. The patient will receive a receipt for the amount paid.
5. The ambulatory controls are in the first 10 days after the surgery and the patient has to count with at least 10-14 days off after the surgery.
6. Starting the midnight of the day of the surgery the patient cannot eat, drink nor smoke.
7. The patient leaves after complete awakening, preferably accompanied. The date of the first (and the next) bandage redressing is determined based on the extent and the development of the surgery. The bandage is undressed after 3-5 days and the patient can take a shower then. The stitches are removed 2-3 weeks after the surgery, then the surgeon recommends the scars massage. We also recommend wearing elastic brassiere (lambada) for the period of 3 months after the surgery. The scars quality depends on the healing process and is very individual.

The complications are general - bleedings and infections. The specific complication after this surgery is pregnancy, when the breasts are enlarging, the scars may broaden and thus after the lactation the hanging breasts may reappear, ruining the surgery results. Therefore this surgery is recommended for the period, when a woman does not plan another pregnancy. However, the new surgery can again improve the shape of the breasts, with the scars of the same extent.
