Breast Lift
Risks
Every year, many thousands of women undergo successful breast lift surgery; however, anyone considering surgery should be aware of both the benefits and risks.
I understand that every surgical procedure has risks, but how can I can make an informed decision?
The subject of risks and potential complications of surgery is best discussed on a personal basis between you and Dr. Stewart, or with a staff member of our office.
Some of the potential complications that may be discussed with you include bleeding, infection and reactions to anesthesia. Following a breast lift, sometimes the breasts may not be perfectly symmetrical or the nipple height may vary slightly. Minor adjustments often can be made at a later time. Permanent loss of sensation in the nipples or areas of breast skin may occur rarely. Revisionary surgery may sometimes be helpful in certain instances where incisions may have healed poorly.
