Breast Enlargement Risks

Breast enlargement, like any surgical procedure, carries certain risks and potential complications. Its crucial for individuals considering breast augmentation to be aware of these risks and to thoroughly discuss them with a qualified surgeon during the consultation process.

There are risks associated with any surgery such as infection, bleeding and reaction to the general anaesthetic. There are risks associated with the implants such as rupture (or leakage), capsular contracture (where the scar around the implant tightens and causes shape change) and the implant moving out of position which can affect how the breast looks. It is important to understand that the implant cannot be expected to last forever. While many patients are satisfied with the results of breast enlargement, it is essential to be aware of potential psychological and emotional impacts, both positive and negative. Selecting an appropriately qualified and experienced surgeon can help minimise your risks.
