The gel may collect in the breast and cause a new scar to form around it. There is no evidence that breast implants will affect fertility, pregnancy, or the ability to nurse. A ruptured implant has to be replaced. Whenever a saline-filled implant does deflate, the leaked saline will be absorbed by the body instead of being treated as a foreign matter. While there is no evidence that breast implants cause breast cancer, the implant could interfere with finding breast cancer during mammography.
Infection can occur with any surgery.
The frequency of infection with implant surgery is very rare. According to scientific studies, women with breast implants, in general, are not at an increased risk for autoinmune or connective tissue diseases. One may also experience a feeling of tightness in the breast area as the skin adjusts to the new breast size. A few patients will develop an intense burning in the nipple. This sensation is cause by the bruising of the nerves connected to the nipple, and it may last for about two weeks, but will subside as bruising fades.
