It should be explained that the milk glands may be damaged during surgery and that breastfeeding may not be possible in the future.
Breast reduction surgery is performed in various ways depending on the condition and size of the breast. Experts decide on this. During the surgical procedures, the necessary stitching is done so that there will be minimal scarring on the body. However, in some operations, the possibility of scarring is quite high.
After breast reduction surgery, the patient cannot use their arms much at first. But over time, they can start moving their arms. There may be numbness and bruising in the nipples. These will also pass over time. The patient returns to their daily life within a few weeks, but should not do heavy work for 3 months. After the surgery, they should use a sports bra for at least two months.
