The inverted T incision
Dr. Gianfermi's meticulous incision technique minimizes scarring.
His incisions are pencil-thin, follow the curvature of the breasts, and are hidden in the breast folds when possible.
Dr. Gianfermi uses five layers of sutures to control any tension at the bottom of the incision that might cause stretching.
This combination of techniques greatly minimizes the appearance of scarring.
Reduce breast size
Liposuction of the armpit
This creates unsightly fat deposits around the armpit.
Dr. Gianfermi to use liposuction to eliminate the axillary fat.
In some cases, he will use direct excision to ensure total removal of fat from the axillary area.
Displacement of the nipples
Dr. Gianfermi submerges the nipple-areola complex into the breast tissue before closing the incisions.
He then has the patient sit upright (while the patient is still under anesthesia) to see how the newly sculpted breasts fall.
Dr. Gianfermi identifies the most natural location for the nipple and makes a small incision.
He then draws the nipple-areola complex out of the breast tissue and sutures it into position.
Dr. Gianfermi makes sure the nipples are in the correct position, symmetrical and round to help create a natural breast appearance. There is virtually no visible scarring with this technique.
Asymmetrical breast reduction
This condition is characterized by one breast being a different size or shape than the other.
Dr. Gianfermi can perform a breast reduction on a single breast to create more symmetrical breasts.
Recovery
- Patients can leave the next day or even the same evening of the procedure.
- Edema and bruising of the breasts appear in the following days.
- No nursing care is required after the procedure.
- The sutures are absorbable and under the skin, so no visible sutures need to be removed.
Regular consultations will be scheduled with your surgeon (usually 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year).
