Less: Back pain, neck pain, shoulder grooves from bra strap pressure, rashes under your breasts, and even less arm and finger numbness from pressure on the nerves under your bra straps. Plus, you will have prettier and more perky breasts, though with some scars that usually fade. 15% can lost nipple sensation or ability to breast feed. Usually the good far outweighs the bad, if done by an abps plas surg.

Easy recovery: Most patients are pleasantly pleased that the recovery is better than they expected. There will be some swelling and bruising. Some surgeons use drainage tubes, other not. Most people take about a week off from work if they have a desk job, longer if they have a physical job.
