The surgical risk is minimal when performed by a skilled and experienced cosmetic plastic surgeon. Women claim the emotional and physical benefits far outweigh the resulting inconspicuous scars.

Dressings and sutures are removed in 7-10 days and full activity may be resumed within 3-4 weeks. Some patients may have a partial loss of nipple sensation, but this is usually minimal.
