Is breast reduction surgery dangerous?

In our lives, there are always some people who think that their breasts are not big enough and want to get silicone prostheses or breast augmentation surgery. In fact, although these surgical methods can make the breasts look bigger, they are indeed very harmful to the body. Some people find that their bodies are not adapting after breast expansion surgery, and they will continue to have breast reduction surgery. So, are breast reduction surgery harmful?

The main sequelae are:

1. Hematoma: It is mainly caused by excessive gland removal during giant breast reduction, too large a range of replacement separation, failure to stop bleeding completely, failure to reconcile tissue layers during suturing, and the presence of dead space.

2. Infection: This is mainly caused by severe damage during the operation, which reduces the local tissue blood supply and anti-infection ability, coupled with endogenous infection of the glandular duct.

3. Nipple and areola necrosis: Nipple and areola necrosis after giant breast reduction directly damages the breast shape and is the most serious complication. The surgical method should be carefully selected before surgery to avoid it, and the operation should be performed carefully during surgery to prevent damage to the blood supply around the areola.

4. Decreased sensation and impaired lactation function: After the reduction of giant breasts, the glands and glandular ducts are removed and the breast flap is freed from the chest wall, which may cause decreased nipple sensation and impaired lactation function.

5. Delayed healing of incision and scar hyperplasia: After breast reduction, there is often an inverted T-shaped wound edge left at the lower part of the breast, and delayed healing of the incision occurs at the intersection of the inframammary fold. If there are infectious factors, scar hyperplasia is more likely to form.

6. The sizes of both breasts are not the same after breast reduction. Both breasts should be observed after breast reduction. During the operation, the two groups of surgeons should fully coordinate and compare. When pulling and suturing, attention should be paid to observing the plasticity of both breasts to prevent asymmetry of the breasts after the operation.
