As with any surgery, there is always a possibility of complications, including bleeding, infection or reaction to anesthesia. Some patients develop small sores around their nipples following surgery that can be treated with antibiotic cream. The procedure will leave noticeable, permanent scars, which can be covered by a bra or bathing suit. It can also leave you with slightly mismatched breasts or unevenly positioned nipples. Future breastfeeding may not be possible since surgery removes many of the milk ducts leading to the nipples.
Some patients also experience a permanent loss of feeling in their nipples or breasts.
The surgeon will examine and measure your breasts. He or she will discuss the variables that may affect the procedure such as your age, the size and shape of your breasts and the condition of your skin. The Surgery Breast reduction is usually done as an inpatient procedure. The surgery usually takes two to four hours. You can expect to remain in the hospital two to three days.
