Breast reduction

Common risks and complications:

These may include adverse reactions to anesthesia, blood clots, or seromas (fluid accumulation).

Infection and bleeding:

Proper wound care and following Dr. Rosalia Luketina’s instructions can minimize these risks.

Scarring and altered nipple sensation:

Some scarring is inevitable, but choosing an experienced surgeon such as Dr. Rosalia Luketina and following postoperative care guidelines can improve the appearance of scars over time. Temporary or permanent changes in nipple sensation may occur, but are relatively rare.

• Reduction of back and neck pain
• Improvement of posture and body alignment
• Increased freedom of movement and comfort during sports
• Improvement of the aesthetic appearance of the breasts
• Increased self-confidence and improved quality of life

Breast reduction surgery is considered safe when performed by an experienced and qualified plastic surgeon. However, as with any surgery, there are risks, including infection, bleeding, and unwanted scarring. These risks can be minimized by following postoperative instructions and attending regular follow-up appointments.

For women who are considering breast reduction but want to avoid surgery, non-surgical options such as weight loss, physiotherapy to relieve back pain, or special bras to support the breasts may be considered. However, these alternatives are often less effective at reducing breast size than breast reduction surgery.

The long-term results of breast reduction surgery are usually permanent, as long as the patient’s body weight remains stable. The remaining breast tissue does not tend to grow significantly after the operation. A healthy lifestyle and regular medical check-ups are important for maintaining the results in the long term.

Breast reduction surgery may affect your ability to breastfeed, as breast tissue and milk ducts may be removed during the procedure. It is important to discuss this issue during your consultation with Dr. Rosalia Luketina, especially if you wish to breastfeed in the future..
