Breast augmentation can enhance your appearance and boost your self-confidence. Some people may not understand your decision. Be prepared for that. The best candidates for breast augmentation are women who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in their appearance. If you are in good health and have realistic goals, breast augmentation may be right for you.
Breast augmentation is a relatively straightforward procedure.
Keep in mind, as with any operation, there are associated risks and specific complications associated with this procedure. The most common complication, capsular contracture, occurs if the scar tissue around the implant begins to tighten. This squeezing of the soft implant can cause the breast to feel hard. Capsular contracture can be treated in several ways, and sometimes requires surgery to release the scar tissue and replace the implant. As with any surgical procedure, excessive bleeding following the operation may cause some swelling, pain, or bruising.
