What are the possible complications of breast reconstruction?
The most common complication with breast implants is capsular contracture the scar or capsule around the implant begins to tighten and squeezes down on the soft implant, causing the breast to feel hard. Capsular contracture may be treated with additional surgery to remove the scar tissue. Other less common complications from general surgery that may also occur during breast reconstruction include: bleeding, fluid collection, excessive scar tissue, infection, and problems with anesthesia.
