Side effects of areola reduction surgery

Areola reduction is a surgery that many women choose after giving birth. After breastfeeding, women's breasts will shrink, which will make their areola appear larger. Let's take a look at the risks of areola reduction surgery.

Possible side effects of areola reduction:

1. Pain caused by blood stasis

After areola reduction surgery, temporary bruises and swelling will occur. Normally, the pain will gradually disappear within 3 days, and the swelling will quickly subside within a week. If there is red blood, swelling and pain, it should be considered to be caused by inflammation and infection.

2. Nerve damage

The areola area has many nerves and is very sensitive. If errors are made during areola removal, it can easily cause nerve damage, reduce breast sensitivity, and cause nipple numbness, which in turn affects sexual life.

3. Wound infection

Incomplete disinfection of surgical instruments, lack of postoperative cleaning, unclean gauze used for bandaging, or water on the wound may cause inflammation and infection. Once an infection occurs, seek medical attention immediately.

1. Infection: Once infection occurs, you should immediately see a doctor for treatment.

2. Nipple numbness: Since there are more nerves distributed in the breast, the feeling is also more sensitive. Therefore, excessive areola reduction or nerve loss during the resection process can easily lead to nipple numbness.

3. Unsatisfactory appearance: excessive or insufficient surgical resection, as well as an unsightly shape caused by suturing.

4. Nipple necrosis: During the operation, if the blood vessels are damaged or the sutures are too tight, affecting the blood supply to the nipple, it may cause nipple necrosis.

5. Impact on breastfeeding function: During the operation, if the breastfeeding ducts are damaged or the milk ducts are blocked, the breastfeeding function may be affected.

In fact, any surgery will have certain risks, and areola reduction surgery is of course the same. So in order to avoid them, you must choose a regular large hospital to perform the surgery. This can ensure the safety of the surgery and the postoperative effect. You must also pay attention to postoperative care. Pay special attention to your diet after surgery. Do not eat spicy food. Do not do strenuous exercise after surgery. Good postoperative care is very helpful for postoperative recovery.
