Breast augmentation comes with potential risks and complications, which may include:
Infection: Although rare, infections can occur and are typically treatable with antibiotics.
Capsular Contracture: This is when the scar tissue around the implant tightens and may cause discomfort or aesthetic issues.
Implant Leakage or Rupture: Both saline and silicone implants can rupture, though the effects and management differ.
Changes in Nipple and Breast Sensation: Some may experience increased or reduced sensitivity, which is usually temporary.
Breast Pain: Some discomfort and pain are expected during recovery but should lessen over time.
Asymmetry: Sometimes, the breasts might appear uneven in size or shape after surgery.
Dr. Miller ensures all patients are fully aware of these risks and will take steps to minimize them.
