Though breast augmentation is a long-running procedure and considered safe, there are complication risks. As with any operation, bleeding, infection and scarring can develop. Asymmetry in size or placement, decrease or loss of sensation, and implant rejection are possible. Capsule scar formation that results in overly firm breasts is the most common complication. We minimize the risk of capsule scar formation by promoting post-surgical breast massage. However, a small number of patients may need follow-up surgery to treat this problem. This information is intended to help you make an informed decision; no question or concern is silly or insignificant. At your consultation, I will gladly discuss any complications with you and answer your questions.
