FAQ's
Q: Will I have noticeable scars after this procedure?
A: Yes, you will. This procedure results in noticeable scarring, but your surgeon is trained to hide the incision lines in the natural folds of the chest/breasts. Your doctor will explain the scarring during your consultation.
Q: Will my medical aid/insurance cover this surgery?
A: Very few medical aids pay for this procedure, even if the condition is the result of a medical condition.
Q: What can go wrong during/after this surgery?
A: Please refer to the Patient’s Informed Consent document detailing the risks and complications of this procedure. Your doctor will also discuss these during your consultation.
