Hello Interloper!

Your breasts will be tender and swollen after this operation. Just how much swelling and bruising you experience depends on how easily you bruise and how quickly you heal. Swelling can last for many months in some individuals, but this is rare.
Risks or side effects following the procedure can include infection, a reaction to the anaesthetic, bleeding and nerve damage.
Bleeding and infection following a mammaplasty are uncommon, but can cause scars to open up if they occur.
This surgery does leave noticeable, permanent scars. They often remain lumpy and red for several months, then gradually become less obvious. Eventually they can fade to thin white lines. Poor healing and wider scars are more common in smokers. The procedure can also leave you with lopsided nipples, or a permanent loss of feeling in your nipples or breasts.
