Recovery process

A general guide to recovery. Individual recovery varies and your personalised schedule will be provided before surgery.

1

Will additional surgery be required?

As the cause and degree of tuberous breasts and asymmetry is often complex and severe, it is not uncommon to require more than one surgery. This is designed to “fine tune” and the optimise the results. Indeed, in some cases the original surgical plan will be to have the entire process staged over two or more surgical procedures. Ultimately you need to take the surgical pathway that is going to provide the greatest chance of success with the least potential complications.

2

When can you expect the final results from Tuberous Breast Surgery?

You’ll typically see the full results of your surgery between three - six months after surgery.
