Are there any side effects of breast reduction surgery?

Breast reduction surgery is a relatively common type of breast plastic surgery. Although it is relatively safe, it still involves certain risks and hazards, especially when performed in small hospitals, where the risks are even greater.

There are side effects.

The side effects of breast reduction are possible scar hyperplasia, nipple and areola necrosis, breast asymmetry, etc. These are generally caused by improper care. Patients seeking beauty should follow the doctor's requirements for care after the operation to prevent such hazards.

1. Delayed wound healing and scar hyperplasia: If the wound is not properly treated, it will lead to delayed healing. If there are infection factors, it is more likely to form scar hyperplasia.

2. Asymmetry of breast size after surgery: Both breasts should be observed after surgery. During the operation, the two groups of surgeons should fully coordinate and compare. When pulling and suturing, attention should be paid to observing the plasticity of both breasts.

3. Nipple and areola necrosis: Nipple and areola necrosis after breast reduction surgery directly destroys the appearance of the breast. The surgical method should be carefully selected before the operation to avoid damaging the blood circulation around the areola.

4. Decreased sensation and impaired lactation function: After breast reduction surgery, the removal of glands and glandular ducts and the release of the breast flap from the chest wall may cause decreased nipple sensation and impaired lactation function.

Dangers of breast reduction surgery: 1. Hematoma infection.

This is almost an inevitable complication of many surgeries, not to mention that breast reduction surgery requires making an incision in the breast and removing excess connective tissue and glands. If the bleeding is not completely stopped during bandaging or suturing, hematoma and inflammatory infection are very likely to occur.

The second harm of breast reduction surgery is nipple and areola necrosis.

This can be regarded as the most serious complication of this type of operation. During breast reduction surgery, the nipple and areola are cut to remove excess glands. If they are sutured or infected later, if the blood supply is not handled promptly and effectively, it is easy to cause necrosis of the nipple and areola after suture.

The third harm of breast reduction surgery is that it affects the sensitivity of the nipple and areola.

Relatively speaking, this is an almost unavoidable hazard, because most breast reduction surgeries require incision of the nipple and areola to remove the hypertrophic glands. When the nipple and areola are re-sutured at a later stage, the sensitivity of the nipple may be reduced due to improper suture of the nerves or excessive removal of the gland ducts.

It is recommended that you choose to go to some regular institutions that have been approved by the state for surgery.

After the operation, you should pay attention to the cleanliness of the wound area, do not let the wound area get wet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. You can eat more nutritious fresh vegetables and fruits.
