| Breast Augmentation Mammaplasty Frequently Asked Questions |
| What are some of the Risks of Augmentation Mammaplasty Surgery?: |
| As with any surgery, there are a number of risks associated with Augmentation Mammaplasty. Among these risks are included: bleeding, infection, scarring, asymmetries, injury to local nerves and blood vessels (including the nerves to the nipples), blood or serum accumulation, wound healing delay, and the potential for dissatisfaction. Risks inherent to the use of implants include: Implant failure with leakage of saline, potential interference with mammography, potential firm scar formation around the implants (capsule contracture), implant displacement, and alleged risks of illness, which remain scientifically unsubstantiated in association with implants. At the time of consultation, we spend a great deal of time discussing the various risks, as well as ways to limit them in each individual patient. Additional risks for silicone implants can be reviewed by viewing the Silicone Information Page . |
