The Potential Risks of Breat Reduction Surgery

undergo this plastic operation every year and more and more surgeons are turning to this field as it's a lucrative
business.
The results which this kind of surgery may vary according to the doctor who performs the operation, your body's
healing ability, and other factors. There is no doubt that a good surgeon can work wonders. However, what the
brochures of plastic surgery clinics show is not the complete picture. There are many potential risks involved in
this sort of procedure. You need to know about them in order to be able to make the best decision for you.
Here are some of risks of breast reduction surgery:
- Mismatching breasts. Sometimes the reduction isn't even. This depends greatly on the skill of the surgeon
but it does happen.
-
- Permanent loss of feeling in the nipples or entire breast area. Temporary loss of sensation is normal.
-
- Inability to breast feed. This happens because the milk ducts which lead to the nipple often need to be
removed during surgery. This is a major issue to consider if you're planning on having more children.
-
- A long healing period. During this time, the breasts may be quite sore to the touch and cause you great
discomfort.
-
- Scars. Every breast reduction surgery involves scarring
to a certain degree. Some women scar more than others. It's difficult to know in advance how your scars will
look.
-
- In some cases there is loss of blood supply to the nipples which may cause you to lose them. Further
plastic surgery and skin grafts will be necessary to improve your appearance afterward
