Breast Reduction Surgery in India
According to the doctors, you can undergo breast reduction surgery in India at any age (teenage or adulthood) but it’s better recommended after the full development of the breast. Other than this, surgery complications can be avoided if it is performed post-pregnancy (as changes occur in the breast tissues during lactation).
Risks involved in Breast Reduction Surgery
Similar to other surgeries, there are risks like allergies, bleeding, and other adverse effects like:
- Distinct size on both sides
- Difficulties in breastfeeding
- Scarring
- Numbness in and around the nipples
Although you see positive results post-surgery, it might take months to completely bring down the swelling and fading of the scars.
