Breast augmentation can give you fabulous results. However, it also poses some risks that can lead to complications or unfavorable results which are often glossed over by people. This list will help women make a better informed decision regarding breast augmentation surgery.
| | 10. Capsular Contracture: Capsular contracture is a scar that forms around the implant, causing it to feel firm, look unnatural, and potentially hurt. |
| | 9. Interference with Mammography: Breast implants do interfere with the ability of a mammogram to “see” all of your breast tissue. Placing the implant under the muscle allows for the least amount of interference. |
| | 8. Breast Implant Displacement: Breast implants can move out of position at anytime after breast augmentation surgery. |
| | 7. Saline Implant Deflation: Saline implants can develop a leak and deflate. |
| | 6. Silicone Implant Rupture: If silicone gel extrudes out of the implant shell, then it might provoke an inflammatory response, leading to…that’s right….a capsular contracture. This is often the first sign of a silicone gel implant rupture. |
| | 5. Rippling: This is the visible appearance of waviness of the skin over your implants, like the ripples of a wave on a lake. Some doctors refer to this as “wrinkling.” |
| | 4. Infection: Infection, if it occurs, usually does so within two months of breast surgery. |
| | 3. Nipple numbness: If the possibility of having numb nipples is unacceptable to you, you should not have breast augmentation because no plastic surgeon can guarantee preservation of nipple sensation. The national risk of having permanently numb nipples is about 15%. Find out more about breast numbness and changes in sensation. |
| | 2. Breast Feeding and Pregnancy: Breast feeding ability is not altered by implants. Many women ask about the effect of future pregnancy on augmented breasts. |
| | 1. Need for Further Breast Surgery: Many women who undergo breast augmentation surgery realize that revision surgery is necessary a few years later. The favorable results of breast surgery are often not long lasting. |
