Possible Complications with Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammaplasty)
As with any surgical procedure, small nerves to the skin are interrupted during surgery. Portions of the nipple area may feel numb or have less than full feeling. Sensitivity returns over several weeks, but some diminished feeling may last indefinitely. This does not usually interfere with erotic sensation and many women even report an increased erotic sensitivity with their new breasts. If you sunbathe, or utilize a tanning bed, you must not do so until any numbness of the breast is gone (to avoid burning). After this point, you must protect the incision site with a sunscreen of SPF 15 or more for at least six months. No procedure is without risks; however, the majority of complications known to be associated with breast reduction are minor when an experienced surgeon performs the procedure. As with any procedure, bleeding, infection, delayed healing, excessive scarring and other problems can occur. Nonetheless, it is important to enter into your procedure aware not only of the benefits, but also of the possible complications. Talk to your surgeon about every question and concern you may have.
