Correction of Breast Asymmetry in Milan Italy
A slight breast asymmetry is very common, when the asymmetry is very remarkable you might want to correct the asymmetry. The correction can be done either by augmentation of the smaller breast or reduction of the large one. The decision between the options is made together with the surgeon, depending on your anatomy and the degree of asymmetry.
You should be above age 18, not nursing or pregnant and in good general health to undergo the correction.
If you're going through the augmentation procedure, the surgeon will make the incision in your armpit, around the nipple or under the breast fold. Then he'll separate the skin from the breast tissue in order to insert the implants. The insertion can be above or below the chest muscles. Most of the implants today are filled with silicon and come in different sizes and shapes.
The reduction procedure involves a vertical incision from the nipple down and a horizontal incision below the breast fold. The extra fat is removed using a liposuction and the breast size is adjusted to the other one.
The length of each procedure depends on the degree of asymmetry and procedure technique. After the surgery you'll have bandages around your chest, sometimes a drainage tube is also placed to avoid blood and fluid collection. Breast augmentation stretches the tissue, therefore there may be a significant amount of pain after the surgery, especially during the first 48 hours. Painkiller antibiotics and anti inflammatory drugs are often prescribed.
Breast reduction involves a larger scar but it goes through less sensitive areas, therefore the pain is less and can be easily treated with painkillers.
Every procedure has its risks. Augmentation may result is implant contraction, rupture of the filling, the implant may move and nipple sensation may be lost. Reduction is usually safe, but can cause bleeding, infection and delayed healing.
Expect to feel tired and sore during the first 48-72 hours. You'll be able to go to work after a week or so, but you should avoid strenuous activities for up to 6 weeks. Complete recovery usually takes 2 month. Until then expect that your scars will be pink and sensitive for 6 weeks, then they'll begin to fade. It is normal for your breasts to be swollen for 3-4 weeks.

Milan Buy
Milan is a fashion shoppers' paradise.
The main shopping area is the fashion quadrangle (quadrilatero della moda), roughly between Duomo Square (piazza Duomo), Cavour Square (Piazza Cavour) and San Babila Square (Piazza San Babila). Here, in Montenapoleone Street, Della Spiga Street, Vittorio Emanuele Street and Manzoni Street, all major labels have their main shops: Giorgio Armani, Prada, Gucci, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana and so on. MM1 San Babila or MM3 Montenapoleone.
For people wanting to spend a bit less, while still buying beautiful things, other areas are better. One of these is Vercelli Avenue (MM1 Pagano), another one is Buenos Aires Avenue (MM1 Porta Venezia, MM1 Lima, MM1/MM2 Loreto).
For hipsters there's the elongated Porta Ticinese area, expecially on Saturday, when the Fiera di Senigallia takes place near Darsena (now that area is closed and Fiera di Senigallia has been moved to a place near Porta Genova MM2 and FS station).

- This Blog provides a quick and succinct commentary on a recent study which suggested that there is selective publication of positive studies for antidepressants by the pharmaceutical industry, while negative studies or studies that question their benefit are not published. It notes that “as a result of the perceived inflated benefits, inappropriate prescribing decisions may be made and selective reporting is unfair to researchers who rely on published information, and to participants of trials who put themselves forward to study these drugs.” It reminds prescribers of NICE guidance for the management of depression and of the need to be aware of the limitations in the evidence for the effectiveness of antidepressants, and be mindful that published evidence may be biased in favour of their effectiveness. It also suggests that “rather than relying on results of evidence from individual articles, clinicians would be well advised to base their prescribing decisions on evidence-based advice from independent trusted summarised sources such as NICE, CKS, Clinical Evidence, and the National Prescribing Centre. However, as these sources largely rely on published evidence, unless public access to all clinical trials is made mandatory, even these trusted sources may not be able to give guidance based on the whole evidence-base.”
