Risks are a part of any surgery
and complete loss of nipple or areola tissue is one such condition that can
arise after breast reduction surgery. This well-known complication of breast reduction technique surgery can happen even in the hands of the best, most
experienced board-certified plastic surgeons. Although surgeons make every effort
to minimize the risks involved in the procedure that does not rule out the
chances for a snag.
The reason for nipple/areolar
complex necrosis is often a multi-factorial one. In other words, many individual factors or
sometimes a combination of factors may cause this uncommon but well-recognized
problem. Nipple necrosis is more likely to occur in smokers or patients with
long pedicles.
How is the complication
managed? Initially the nipple area
should be treated with wet-to-dry dressings, and you must allow the breast to
settle down. After the critical phase is
over, please consult your surgeon regarding a further course of action.Reconstruction
of the affected area may be required. It
is important to trust your surgeon and follow the guidelines suggested, as this
will help in resolving this complication.
