Look how much gland I removed during this secondary case. Notice the glandular tissue removed from each side. There can be quite a cavity left after the dense gland is removed. This cavity left untreated can leave a depression under the nipple and areola. Dr. Bermant uses liposuction and tissue contouring to sculpt surrounding regions.
Tumescent liposuction contours the surrounding fat.
The tumescent technique means the fat removed has very little blood. This translates into less bleeding, bruising, and discoloration after surgery. Surrounding fat is sculptured with a thin liposuction cannula. The fat in the tube is yellow with very little blood with the tumescent technique. After contouring the surrounding fat with liposuction, the fat layer is repositioned under the nipple and areola.
