With every surgery, there are risks to be made well aware of and while most of these risks are either rare or uncommon, it’s still important that patients are educated on the potential. These complications occur post-operation, so issues such as infection, healing problems, and scars are the most common types of problems, but that doesn't mean these will happen to you. We keep our patients post-operation until we are happy to send them home; however, things can happen where complications arise; therefore, following all of our recommendations, such as not lifting your arms and keeping the bra on for a period of time will ensure there are no complications within these areas. Less common complications can be your breasts growing back, which will only happen alongside extreme weight gain. Additionally, there is nipple necrosis and permanent numbness.
The best time to have breast reduction surgery in Manchester is when you have completed your family and you have reached a weight that you will maintain. Childbirth and weight loss or gain will have an impact on your breasts in terms of shape and size, so waiting until your body will not be experiencing significant changes is important. With time, breast tissue continues to age. It may be that further surgery to tighten the skin is required at a later date. With weight fluctuations, the breasts can increase and decrease in size and the results can change with time. It is very rare for breasts to increase to a size where one would need a further reduction, although this cannot be 100% guaranteed.
