In general, breast augmentation is considered very safe. It is a relatively conservative procedure performed in the superficial plane of the body, away from vital organs. Some of the risks associated with this procedure include:
Infection
Anesthesia risks
Fluid or blood accumulation beneath the skin
Capsular contracture around an implant
Prolonged pain or numbness due to nerve disruption
A poor cosmetic outcome
Patients are encouraged to take their time choosing an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon to perform their augmentation procedure.
