Breast Reduction Surgery in Hyderabad

As in any major surgery, there are always risks; however in Breast Reduction Surgery significant complications are rare.

Some of the potential complications may include bleeding, infection and reactions to anaesthesia. On rare occasions, a patient may require a blood transfusion during the operation. This can be anticipated in advance, and blood of a known donor can be reserved for possible transfusion.

Following reduction, sometimes the breasts may not be perfectly symmetrical, or the nipple height may vary slightly. If desired, minor adjustments can be made at a later time. Permanent loss of sensation in the nipples or breasts may occur rarely. Revision surgery is sometimes helpful in certain instances where incisions may have healed poorly. In the unlikely event of injury to or loss of the nipple and areola, they usually can be satisfactorily reconstructed using skin grafts.

Breast Reduction Surgery will make your breasts smaller and firmer and lighter. If you have suffered from back ache due to heavy breasts, it will be relieved. Your posture will improve.

A lot of women have breastfed after this surgery, but there is no guarantee that you will be able to do so.

All conditions remaining constant, breasts do not enlarge again. However, if you gain weight, become pregnant or if you had the surgery before your breasts were fully grown, they may enlarge to some extent. If necessary, the same procedure can be repeated.
