Breast lifts are major surgeries, so they include risks involved with surgery: bleeding or the formation of a hematoma, reaction to anesthesia, infection, and slow incision healing.
Risks related to breast lifts include:
Changes in nipple or breast sensation (these usually revolve within a few months)
Irregularities in breast contour or shape
Breast asymmetry
Necrosis of fat tissue
Fluid accumulation
Possibility of the need for revision surgery
