Tips:

 

 

Breast reduction surgery can interfere with some diagnostic procedures

 

Piercing the breast and nipple can cause an infection

 

Your ability to breastfeed following this type of mammoplasty may be limited. Talk to your doctor if you plan to breastfeed your baby.

 

Breast reduction can be done at any age, but it is best when the breasts are fully grown.

 

Changes in the breasts during pregnancy can change the results of previous breast reduction surgery.

 

 Surgeries are usually not very accurate, and, although good results are expected, there is no guarantee that sometimes a method of breast reduction may not achieve the desired results and another surgery may be needed.

 

 

Will the scar remain after surgery?

 

 

You may have scars around your nipples, you may also have a vertical scar on your chest and a horizontal scar all over China, under your chest (anchor-shaped), or you may have just one vertical scar on your chest. (Depends on the type of surgery you have.)

 

  Most scars turn red in the first 6 weeks and fade over time and should be covered under regular clothing, a bra, and a bikini top.

 

 

 

 

Will having a baby affect the outcome of the operation?

 

 

If you plan to have breast reduction surgery before you have a baby, be aware that breasts may enlarge again during pregnancy and therefore may affect the outcome of the operation.

You may also not be able to breastfeed your baby after surgery.
