In the first visit to the plastic surgeon you should have an extensive discussion of your expectations from the surgery and of your wishes, which must be pragmatic above all. An experienced surgeon will guide you to the best breast size for your body. If the intervention is decided, it is advisable to do a mammogram if you have not done one recently.

Tell your doctor if you are taking any medication and the general state of your health.How long does the surgery last and how long should I stay in the clinic?
The surgery usually takes 2 hours. Fat, tissue and skin are removed from the bottom and the lateral part of the breast, and the nipple is rectified to be aesthetically symmetric with the new breast. After the operation is performed, with general anesthesia, the patient stays in the clinic for 2 days. Small drainage tubes will be placed in the breasts’ sides to avoid the collection of fluids and blood into the breasts, which are removed when the patient is discharged. The scars from the incisions, as with all surgeries, "fade off" with the passage of time.How much time does the recovery take and how long do the results of the surgery last?

The duration of the effect usually lasts years and depends on the elasticity of the skin, pregnancies and weight changes of the patient.
