Risks and side effects
All surgical incisions comes with a risk, there could be complications or effects from the narcos, infections, flushes, bleeding or pain. The breast or nipple sensation may change, usually temporarily and more often just an adjustment. There can also be temporary bruising, some swelling and discomfort, numbness and dry breast skin. Serious risks are not common. Delays in healing can be caused by collections of fluid (seroma) that need to be drained; infection or bleeding under the skin flap. To prevent these issues at Shape Medical Centre, we are very tedious with the aftercare, we are here for our patients.
Duration of the results
Pregnancy and breastfeeding may affect and change the size and shape of the breasts. Some women undergo breast reduction surgery before having children, preferring to address any changes in shape and size at a later date. Gravity, pregnancy, aging and weight changes may have significant and unpredictable effects on the size and shape of the new breasts. Breast lift surgery will not interfere with the ability to breastfeed as long as the milk ducts are left intact, and if you plan to breastfeed in the future you should discuss this with your doctor.
