Hello Interloper!

Your chest will be tender and swollen after this procedure. The extent of the swelling and bruising is dependent on whether you tend to bruise or swell easily.
Although much of the swelling and bruising will disappear in the first few weeks, it may be six months to a year before things settle into their new shape.
Risks or side effects following the procedure can include infection, a reaction to the anaesthetic, bleeding and nerve damage.
Bleeding and infection following a breast reduction are rare, but if you have had skin removed as part of the more extensive procedure, it can cause scars to widen.
This procedure does leave scars that gradually fade over time. If you have only had liposuction, these may become relatively unnoticeable. However, if tissue and skin reduction is required, the scars will be larger and more evident, and you may also find that you are left with slightly lop-sided nipples or a permanent loss of feeling in your nipples.
