Types include: After surgical intervention to the breast, complications may arise related to wound healing.
As in other types of surgery, hematoma (post-operative bleeding), seroma (fluid accumulation), or incision-site breakdown (wound infection) may occur.
Breast hematoma due to an operation will normally resolve with time[2] but should be followed up with more detailed evaluation if it does not.
Breast abscess can occur as post-surgical complication, for example after cancer treatment or reduction mammaplasty.
The incidence of poorly controlled acute postoperative pain following breast cancer surgery ranges between 14.0% to 54.1%.
