What risks and potential complications are involved?
All surgeries include some degree of risk, including infection, discomfort and adverse reaction to anesthesia. In addition, there are specific risks associated with surgery using breast implants, including capsular contracture and deflation/rupture. In general, the more serious occur rarely, and most complications involve an extension of the recovery period rather than any permanent effect on your final result. Your plastic surgeon will evaluate your personal risk for any complications, use their expertise to avoid complications as much as possible and attempt to quickly solve any problems that arise. For much more about possible complications and their symptoms, see our section on the risks and possible complications of breast augmentation surgery.
