How is the Procedure Performed?
Anaesthesia:
The procedure begins with the administration of either general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia with sedation for patient comfort and safety while the procedure is performed.
Tightening and Suturing:
After removing the excess tissue, the remaining skin is tightened, and the incisions are closed with sutures. The surgeon will make sure the skin is optimally contoured.
Recovery and Monitoring:
Patients are moved to a recovery area for monitoring. A compression garment is often applied to reduce swelling and support healing.
What is the Recovery Like?
Recovery times can vary, but generally include:
- Mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising are common after surgery and are typically managed with prescribed medications.
- Wear a compression garment for several weeks to reduce swelling and support healing.
- Limit physical activities for the first few weeks; light activities can resume after 1 to 2 weeks.
- Attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor healing and address any concerns.

- Infection
- Poor Healing
- Scarring

- Asymmetry
