Tuberous breasts, also known as “snoopy-nose”, are female breasts characterized by a wide areola and an underdeveloped or sagging lower part. In addition, it is common for the space separating the two breasts to be wide.
What does the intervention consist of?
This disorder can be solved by different techniques. The most common is the reduction of the width of the areola and reconstruction of the lower part of the breast. On the other hand, it is usually necessary to use implants and/or liposuction to add volume to the area.
Fat obtained by water-jet liposuction will be used to fill the area, which is less harmful to the cells than the usual liposuction techniques, since the fat cells that are extracted are in a good condition and are more likely to survive this process.
What is EVL and what is it used for?
EVL is an innovative technique that is used to expand the patient’s tissue by vibration during the lipotransfer process. For this reason, the result will be more voluminous after transplantation and will offer a higher acceptance rate than those offered by conventional fat filling techniques. In this way, a natural cleavage with volume can be created, as well as a more aesthetic and feminine shape of the breast area. Finally, the breasts can be brought closer together to make them more attractive.
How long does a lipotransfer last?
The fat needs to develop in the body, so care must be taken. At the beginning and after the treatment, smoking should be avoided, since any kind of nicotine secretion or cold are factors that damage the transplanted cells. Once the fat is developed, it will become part of the body and will age at a normal rate.
What is EVL?
EVL (expansion-vibration-filling) is the most innovative technique in fat transfer. This procedure is performed using a cannula that vibrates to expand the patient’s tissue while the fat is being transferred, providing better results and a higher rate of fat acceptance. In addition, if the patient desires, it is possible to transfer more fat cells to the same area compared to other techniques.
