Other techniques may also be utilized during the procedure, including:

How Long Is the Recovery Time?

After your tuberous breast correction, the details of your recovery will depend on the extent of your procedure. Dr. Balinger will provide you with thorough instructions to ensure that you heal properly. Typically, patients can return to work and resume their normal routines in one to two weeks, but it’s best to wait four to six weeks before partaking in strenuous exercise. You may also need to wear a surgical support bra for several weeks.

You will likely notice immediate improvements to the size, shape, and symmetry of your breasts after undergoing tuberous breast correction. However, you may not see the final results until the swelling and bruising have subsided, which can take several weeks or months.
