What are the consequences of breast reduction?

Good : Usually you would have a breast reduction for large breasts that cause severe back or shoulder pain. You should feel better after the surgery. You may experience complications which may include scarring but most people are happy with the result.

Breast Reduction: Breast reduction surgery tends to be one of the most patient pleasing operations performed. During this operation, “excess” breast tissue and skin is removed. The breasts themselves are lifted on the chest wall. This operation tends to help patients with neck, back, shoulder discomfort and may help patients with posture as well. Of course, potential risks should also be considered. Best wishes.

Consequences: Most patients with breast reduction surgery have an improvement in pain at the shoulder, neck and back areas. The breast look smaller and perkier. Some women can have healing issues in the short term, and there can also be numbness in the nipple and skin of the breast.
