Risks to breast lifts and augmentations

A breast lift is normally safe when performed by a qualified plastic surgeon. Significant complications from breast lifts are not frequent. Thousands of women go through surgery, without experiencing major problems and are pleased with the results. Following a breast lift, the breasts may not be perfectly symmetrical or the nipple may vary slightly, permanent loss of sensation in the nipples or areas of breast skin may occur. Revisional surgery may be helpful where incisions have healed poorly. Bleeding and infection following a breast lift are not common, but they can cause scars to widen. You can reduce the risks by clearly following your physician's advice before and after surgery.

After your breast surgery

After surgery you will wear an elastic bandage or a surgical bra over gauze dressings. Your breasts will be bruised and swollen for a day or two. Pain will not be severe, which will be relieved with medication. The stitches will be removed after a week or two. If the breast skin is dry, use moisturizer several times a day. The numbness you feel in that area usually fades as the swelling subsides over the next six weeks or so.
