What are the risks and complications of breast augmentation surgery?
All surgeries have some risks associated with them. These risks are low but need to be taken into consideration before any surgery. The risks are, infection, scarring, asymmetry, numbness, pain, firmness, pneumothorax (collapsed lung), hematoma, seroma, change in nipple sensation, chronic pain, implant rippling, rupture of implant, compromised detection of early breast cancer, capsular contraction, delayed wound healing, possibility of late calcification, implant palpability, and the need for further surgery. The best way to find out if you are a good candidate for a breast augmentation is to contact us and schedule a consultation with Dr. Goodman.
