I’m worried about the risks and complications of breast surgery. Are issues like infection, bleeding, scarring, or loss of nipple sensation common, and how can they be minimized?

Don’t worry too much about risks breast surgery for benign lumps is generally very safe. Like any surgery, minor complications such as infection, bleeding, or temporary numbness can occur, but these are uncommon and well managed with proper care.
Experienced surgeons take every precaution, using sterile techniques and gentle tissue handling to minimize trauma. Following your post-surgery instructions carefully helps reduce swelling, prevent infection, and speed up recovery.
