The Care Pathway
1. Evaluation

2. Surgery
Excess glandular tissue is removed, with liposuction used to refine the contour.

A compression garment supports healing and helps the skin re-drape.
4. Follow-up
Chest contour and healing are reviewed at follow-up visits.
“Your care team supports you through every stage, from evaluation to full recovery.”
