- Obesity and poor diet.
- Heredity.
- Aging.
About the process:
The doctor makes small incisions in the chest area and around the nipples and then removes excess tissue. The doctor also removes excess skin if sagging is severe. Upon completion, the doctor closes the incisions with threads that do not leave any scars. The operation is carried out under general anesthesia and takes about two hours.
After the operation:
The patient should adhere to the doctor’s instructions and follow the following:
- Adhere to the wearing of compression garments to reduce swelling.
- Avoid strenuous exercise and physical activities for 4 weeks after the operation.
