Asymmetry can occur, and the ability to breast feed may be lost. Permanent loss of feeling in the nipples or breasts can occur, and more rare lost blood supply to certain areas can result in tissue death. Although much of the swelling and bruising usually disappears within the first few weeks, it may be six months to a year before they reach their final shape and appearance. The scars are often lumpy and red for several months, but gradually become less obvious. They are usually hidden within bra lines.
Most women are very pleased with the results of the surgery.
