What are the risks and complications involved with having reduction mammoplasty?
As with any surgery, there are risks involved like bleeding, infection and delay in wound healing. It is not uncommon for some patients to develop small open areas in their incisions. Antibiotic creams, prescribed by Dr. Cohen, will resolve those sores. You are at increased risk for complications if you have diabetes, poor circulation or smoke. Dr. Cohen will fully present the risks and complications to you during your consultation. Having a qualified plastic surgeon perform your surgery minimizes the likelihood of complications.
