What are the risks and complications of breast augmentation and mastopexy?
Complications following breast augmentation and mastopexy surgery are rare and usually minimal. The possible complications associated with breast augmentation and mastopexy include capsular contracture, swelling and pain, infection around the implant, a change in nipple sensation, decreased milk production, and breakage or leakage of the implant (implant rupture). Many possible complications associated with breast lifts and implants can be avoided by choosing an experienced and well-trained surgeon.
