This kind of surgery doesn’t usually entail particular discomfort. However, it’s still a partially invasive procedure that requires some attention in the postoperative period. In some rare cases, there may be some side effects. Seek medical attention if one of the following circumstances occur:

• Unusual swelling of the breast more than 15 days after surgery

• Secretions from the scar

• Redness across the breast even several days after surgery

• Acute, persistent pain for days
