A lot of women nowadays have gone through breast augmentation. This is a procedure that will give an improvement to the symmetry, fullness and shape of the breast and can enhance a woman's figure giving her more self-confidence. However, as with other kinds of surgeries, breast enhancement has associated dangers.

Deciding on having a breast enhancement surgery is quite personal and you will have to consider if the benefits of this particular procedure will allow you to attain your objectives and if its risks are acceptable.

Listed here are the hazards of breast enlargement that patients must know.

Post-Operative Hazards

With regards to breast enhancement, capsular contraction is a very popular risk. In this complication, there'll be contraction of the scar tissues around the breast implant which may also solidify affecting the normal color and contour of the patient's breasts. This danger is more possible when the enhancements being applied are silicone instead of saline. This occurrence can be reduced by massaging the breast tissue appropriately after the surgical procedure. Therefore, it is necessary for a patient to firmly follow all the directions given by her doctor in terms of breast massage on a regular basis. This problem can be fixed by conducting a corrective surgery but this may cause a scar tissue capsule near the implant so the dangers may still occur once again.

Additionally, implants can also result in rippling. In this particular trouble, the surface of the implants becomes uneven. This may be caused by the implants' shifting of locations in the pocket right after the surgery or may be due to the misplacement of the implants. When rippling occurs seriously, the patient might need to undergo implant replacements.

Additionally, post-operative infections can take place in any kinds of surgical procedures. However, when a case is very serious, it may need the elimination of the implants until the infection is completely healed.

Long-term Risks

It is vital for each breast enlargement patient to understand that implants are only temporary. In unusual cases, leaks and also rupture can occur.

Thus ladies with capsular contracture can't depend on mammograms for accurate breast cancer results and it might be tough to perform.

The longer a patient has a breast implant the more he may have some complications and she must decide to eliminate it. Saline implants must be eliminated since they can deflate quickly and silicone gel implants need removal as they can leak out and it is likely for the gel to migrate outside the area of the breast. She can't guarantee that she'll go through a reasonable cosmetic result when he'll be operated again. The kind of reoperation to be carried out will be in accordance with the complications that occurred. The patient may have a single or more reoperations in her lifetime because of a complication or a mixture of many.
