The Risks of Breast Reducing Surgeries Whether it is an aesthetic surgery or medical surgery,every surgical operation carries a risk. Does breast reducing surgery have any risks? Patients frequently ask about the risks of hematoma, infection, insensivity or problems that may occur with breast feeding in future pregnancies. - After breast reduction surgeries, patients are attached with a drainage tube. These drains are put there for the purpose of prohibiting blood accumulation. The medical name of blood accumulation is Hematoma. Hematoma is encountered rarely. In this operation, for the blood not to accumulate inside the stitches, drainage tubes are attached as a precaution. - As with other surgical operations,there is a chance of infection on the stitches. To prohibit the infection, antibiotics are used. - Early on, there may be a temporary insensivity in the nipples. This is temporary. During the healing period, this insensivity fades. - For the first few days after surgery, the arms should not be raised too much, as this may cause the stitches to open. You can continue with your daily life and routines normally, but the arms should not be forced too much. I am providing key information about precautions that should be taken before and after surgery. If attention is paid to these points,there will not be any complications.
