What are the risks involved with breast augmentation surgery?
As with any surgery, there are risks associated with breast enlargement. Infection, deflation, nipple numbness, implant displacement, and rippling are all possible side effects of breast augmentation surgery. Another potential side effect is called capsular contracture. This occurs when the scar or capsule around the breast implant begins to tighten, squeezing the implant and causing the breast to harden.
