Risks associated with a breast reduction (reduction mammoplasty) surgery

Breast Reduction Surgery: Understanding Risks & Setting Realistic Expectations Dr Raymond Goh, Specialist Plastic Surgeon and director at Valley Plastic Surgery, explains the risks associated with body contouring procedures. Considering breast reduction surgery? This essential educational video discusses important risk factors and realistic expectations for reduction mammoplasty to help you make informed decisions about your surgical journey. Understanding Breast Reduction Risks Breast reduction surgery, whilst offering functional and aesthetic outcomes, involves several important considerations that every patient should understand. This comprehensive discussion covers the primary risk factors and realistic outcome expectations for reduction mammoplasty procedures. Key Risk Factors Explained The most critical consideration in breast reduction surgery involves preserving nipple blood supply during tissue repositioning. Whilst nipple necrosis represents the most serious potential complication, this occurrence remains very rare when performed by Specialist Plastic Surgeons who have undergone the requisite and necessary training to carefully preserve vascular anatomy during nipple elevation and repositioning. Scarring and Healing Considerations All breast reduction procedures result in surgical scars, typically around the areola, vertically down the breast, and along the breast crease. Whilst some patients may be genetically predisposed to more prominent scarring, the majority experience significant scar fading over time. The surgical approach involves balancing breast shape, size, and comfort with inevitable scarring. Realistic Outcome Expectations Understanding realistic expectations remains crucial for patient satisfaction. Perfect breast symmetry cannot be guaranteed, as natural variations exist both before and after surgery. Healing factors may cause differential tissue shrinkage or scarring between sides. Additionally, specific cup size outcomes cannot be guaranteed, as breast reduction addresses both functional and aesthetic concerns rather than achieving predetermined measurements.
