Some women develop an infection around an implant. This may occur at any time, but is most often seen just after surgery. In some cases, the implant may need to be removed for several months until the infection clears. Excessive bleeding following the operation may cause some swelling and pain. If excessive bleeding continues, another operation may be needed to control the bleeding and remove the accumulated blood.
Some women report that their nipples become oversensitive, undersensitive.
One may notice numbness near their incisions. These symptoms usually disappear within time, but may be permanent in some patients. Occasionally, breast implants may leak or break. This can sometimes occur from the normal movement of your breast and implant, causing the shell to leak. If a saline-filled implant breaks, the implant will deflate in a few hours and the salt water will most likely be absorbed by the body.
