The new position of the nipple is noted, which should be at a distance of 19-22 cm from the sternal grip.<\/p>\n<p>The operation is performed under general anesthesia with the patient in a semi-sedentary position and with the upper limbs in abduction. Skin is removed with a piece of mass gland from the upper and lateral poles of the breasts. The size and location of the incision depends on the size of the breast, the elasticity of the skin, and the technique of the operation. The incision is made around the nipple area and continues vertically to the submammary fold. After the incisions are made, the nipple is positioned higher on the breast and the breast is reshaped to its original shape.<\/p>\n<p>The wounds are sutured using multiple intradermal sutures, drainage is placed and pressure dressing of the breasts is applied. Also, if necessary, the size of the areola, the dark skin around the nipple, may be reduced. The degree of reduction depends on the body type of each woman.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    \n       \n        <div class=\"dp-cta-btn__wrapper dp-margin-top--m\">        \n            <a class=\"dp-btn__primary\" href=\"#contact-us\">Book now            <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"dp-align--center\">\n        \n     \n             <figure class=\"dp-aspect--5-6 dp-image__container\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"dp-media-fit dp-img-focus--center-center\" src=\"https:\/\/old.cosmeticdermamedicine.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/anorthosi-stithous-image-3.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n        \n                     <\/figure>\n            \n    <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">    \n    \n    <div class=\"dp-icon-box\">\n    \n                    <h2 class=\"dp-no-margin dp-margin-top--s dp-h2 dp-col-2-headline--l\">    \n                Postoperative Course            <\/h2>\n                \n        \n                \n        \n                    <div class=\"dp-icon-box__text dp-margin-top--s dp-col-2--l\">\n                <p>After the operation, a special pressure bandage is applied for about 2-3 days.
