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.

Answer: Fat necrosis after a breast reduction Hello and thank you for your excellent question. Fat necrosis after a breast reduction can happen, but it is infrequent provided that proper technique is utilized. In addition, a patient can minimize her risk of developing fat necrosis by maintaining good health, and avoiding adverse behaviors such as smoking after surgery. Of course, you will need an in-person consultation to evaluate you for this procedure. Preoperative visualization and surgical simulation with the Crisalix system may help with your decision. I suggest that you find a board-certified plastic surgeon with whom you are comfortable. Be sure to have all of your questions answered during a face-to-face meeting with your surgeon, and review before and after pictures of patients who have had similar procedures. Good luck!
