Some of the risks and side effects possible due to breast reconstruction include capsular contracture, breast implant rupture and shifting, infection, and loss of sensation. There is substantial scarring with this procedure, as well as soreness that can last one to two weeks. Pain medications can control any discomfit that is caused by the surgery.
