Apart from discomfort and bruising following your surgery, some loss of feeling may occur in nipples and breast skin for a period of weeks. In some patients it may last longer and in rare cases it may be permanent.
A small percentage of women experience occasional, sharp pains in the breast or nipple for up to six months. This is part of the healing process and will subside over time.
There will be visible scarring with the breast lift technique, although it will be covered by your bra or bathing suit (poor healing and wider scarring is more common in smokers). The procedure may also leave the breasts slightly uneven.
Some Breast Reductions can result in the loss of nipple sensation and reduction of milk supply as a consequence. Breast feeding may be unable to be established.
