Risks Accompanying Breast Reduction Operation

There are several possible risks that may arise after breast reduction operation. These include sensation problems, possible breast feeding problems and breast asymmetry. Patient needs to be aware of these risks before going through the actual surgery.

Breast irregularity is not most likely to appear after the surgery. This can happen if the surgeon who performed the procedure is not experienced enough on breast reduction operation. If this happens, a specialized surgeon can correct breast asymmetry issues better than general plastic surgeon.

Losing breast sensation can happen specially if the patient’s areola has been removed and grafted. While the areola has been placed to its proper location, the effect of this procedure could be a temporary or total loss of breast sensation. This can be avoided if the method used for breast removal is the non-grafting technique.
