There will be scars on the breast that are permanent because the surgery involves repositioning of the nipple and breast tissue. Over time most scars fade noticeably. Rarely, a patient may experience permanent nipple numbness.
The new look of the breasts may take time to settle because of swelling that occurs with all surgery. It must also be kept in mind that the breast lift won’t last forever, as the effects of gravity on our bodies will eventually take their toll. The majority of women are extremely happy with their results, and the cosmetic benefit outweighs these concerns.
Complications are rare – but must be thoroughly discussed and considered before you decide to have surgery.
