Is fat necrosis after breast reduction common?

July 31, 2017
Asked By:christy589ny in Chicago, IL

I've seen some after surgery photos where women suffer from this. What is the likelihood of it happening? What factors increase your risk? I'm 28 with 32DDD breast going to hopefully a 32C, Non smoker and no health issues.
