What are the odds of nipple necrosis on 2nd breast surgery?

User Avatar

Hello, I had a breast lift at 30 years old in 2005: only a lift/ no implants and no breast tissue removal. Here we are 16 years later and I am scheduled for a breast reduction and lift. My surgeon from 2005 has retired and my records were destroyed in 2014. My new surgeon indicates that he will need to be conservative in his approach without know which blood vessels were tampered with. And could increase chance of nipple necrosis. Please advise of things to consider in my situation. TYVM
