====Complications==== Early complications include [[infection]] and [[hematoma]] (blood outside the vascular system); late complications include an unsatisfactory breast-volume reduction that might require either [[Surgery|surgical]] or [[liposuction]] revision. As with other liposuction procedures, the final result of a liposuction-only breast reduction becomes evident at 6-months post-operative; although the [[edema]] usually subsides at 2β3 weeks post-operative. To date, no incidence of [[Histology|tissue]] [[necrosis]] has been reported; likewise, there have been few reports of lessened nipple sensation. Generally, the long-term rate of patient-satisfaction is high, provided that the indications for the liposuction-only technique are abided with proper patient selection.<ref name=pmid15759094/><ref>{{cite journal |last1=McMahan |first1=JD |last2=Wolfe |first2=JA |last3=Cromer |first3=BA |last4=Ruberg |first4=RL |title=Lasting success in teenage reduction mammaplasty |journal=Annals of Plastic Surgery |volume=35 |issue=3 |pages=227β31 |year=1995 |pmid=7503513 |doi=10.1097/00000637-199509000-00001|s2cid=25760876 }}</ref>
