What risks and complications could I be facing from having breast reduction surgery?

Thank you for your question. Scaring is a normal side effect of breast reduction surgery. These scars will fade over time but will never completely disappear. However, your doctor may have scar screams as an option. They can be made worse if you lift heavy objects too soon after surgery. In rare cases, some people have certain complications, such as problems in healing of the nipple area. You also have the risks of infection if you do not keep incisions clean. Just be sure to follow all of your surgeons post care instructions. Best of luck!Dhaval M. Patel Double board certifiedPlastic surgeonHoffman EstatesBarringtonOakbrookChicago
