Care is taken that the breast feeding potential of the breast is nowhere disturbed. However, it considerably reduces the risk of breast cancer, thanks to the removal of breast tissues. However, regular screening and mammography should be continued even after the surgery, since the risk is only reduced and not nullified. After surgery, it is recommended that the patient wears surgical bra. Certain health issues like swelling, discoloration or pigmentation may occur but will subside gradually.
