If areola is large the skin at the perimeter is excised and reduced. The excess of breas-t skin is also removed to compensate for reduced elasticity.
3. Closing the incisions- Once the breas-t is reshaped, the excess of skin is removed, and the rest of the skin and breas-t tissue is tightened. Incisions are closed with dissolving sutures.
