Your Questions, Answered

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT BREAST REDUCTION

 
 

Will a breast reduction hurt? 

Breast reduction is surgery, and there will likely be moderate pain along and beneath the incision lines. Pain should become easily manageable within a couple days, however, and then you will just need to move carefully until you are fully healed. For most breast reduction patients, the relief provided by the reduced weight of the breasts offsets the discomfort following surgery.

What are the possible risks of breast reduction surgery?

As with any surgery, complications and risks are possible. Some of these can include: 

  • Breast pain

  • Poor wound healing or infection

  • Unexpected scarring

  • Tissue damage or tissue death - this risk is increased if you smoke

  • Changes in skin sensation

How can I prepare for breast reduction surgery? 

There are several things you can do to help your surgical outcome be the best it can be. If you smoke, stop now. Smoking has several effects on blood flow and can delay the healing process after any surgery. Maintain a stable weight for at least 12 months before surgery, and arrange ahead of time to have help post-surgery to prevent the risk of opening your surgical incisions.
