Disadvantages of Breast Reduction Surgery

Women all hope to have full breasts, which can make them more confident. However, if the breasts are too large, it will be a big burden. Large breasts will also affect the beauty. Some women may undergo some breast reduction surgery for treatment if their breasts are too large. When undergoing this kind of surgical treatment, you must understand some disadvantages. Let us learn about this aspect.

Disadvantages of Breast Reduction Surgery

1. If too many glands are removed during surgery and the separation range is too large, blood clots may form if the bleeding is not completely stopped, thus causing hematoma;

2. Delayed healing of surgical incisions and scar hyperplasia. After breast reduction, there is often a delayed healing of the incision at the intersection of the inverted T-shaped wound edge and the inframammary fold at the lower part of the breast. If there is an infection factor, scar hyperplasia is more likely to form.

3. If the blood circulation around the areola is disrupted during the operation, the most serious case may be necrosis of the nipple and areola.

4. After breast reduction, the size of both breasts is asymmetrical, but this situation does not usually occur. After breast reduction, both breasts should be observed. 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 to prevent asymmetry of both breasts after the operation.

5. Decreased breast sensation and impaired lactation function. After breast reduction, the glands and glandular ducts are removed and the breast flap is freed from the chest wall, which may cause decreased nipple sensation and impaired lactation function.

Postoperative Care

1. After the breast reduction surgery, the patient should observe the condition of the breasts more closely within one day. If any abnormalities are found, return to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. 2. After breast reduction surgery, lie flat when resting to avoid squeezing the breasts. 3. After breast reduction surgery, you should wear tight clothes, which will have a certain shaping effect on the breasts that have just undergone surgery. 4. After breast reduction surgery, you should eat more high-protein foods to effectively regulate your body.
