If you want to reduce the risk of complications you should strongly follow your doctor’s advices as before so after your surgery.

You have to know that after the procedure leave visible, permanent scars. But they can be hided by your brassiere or bathing suit. If you smoke your scars will be wider and poor healing. The procedure can also cause that your breasts will be slightly mismatched or your nipples unevenly positioned. As a result a breast-feeding may not be possible, because the surgery removes many of the milk ducts which lead to the nipples.

In some patients may be observed a permanent loss of feeling in their nipples or breasts. Hardly ever the nipple and areola can lose their blood supply and the tissue will die. If it is needed the nipple and areola can be recreated. It can be maid by using skin grafts from elsewhere on the body.
