Dr. Li Fengyong
Postoperative complications of breast lift surgery may lead to asymmetry between the two breasts or leave visible scars at the incision sites. The surgery may also affect the patient's ability to breastfeed, and could potentially cause nipple necrosis or displacement of the nipple-areola complex. Therefore, patients are advised to choose a reputable hospital and an experienced surgeon when undergoing this procedure.
